2016 Blackrock Avenue, Bronx, NY 10472

The two-story New Law tenement building at 2016 Blackrock Avenue in Unionport, owned by Sohel Ahmed, has faced several maintenance challenges in recent years. The 3-unit, 1935 construction has a documented pattern of issues, particularly during a concentrated period in January 2020 when multiple complaints were filed regarding unsanitary conditions, including mold, and various problems with flooring and windows.

Specifically, emergency complaints were made about mold and window frames, while non-emergency issues were reported regarding flooring conditions. Notably, during this period, the Department of Housing Preservation and Development was unable to gain access to inspect the cited conditions, leading to some complaints being closed without resolution. More recently, there was a complaint filed with the Department of Buildings in September 2020 regarding an illegal conversion at a nearby address (10472), though this was marked as "Inspector Unable To Gain Access – 2nd Final Attempt" and closed in March 2021 without any findings.

This complaint appears to be related to a different property address than the subject building and may not be directly relevant to the current building's conditions. While the documented issues from 2020 were all closed within a relatively short timeframe, it's worth noting that multiple complaints were filed in close succession regarding different but potentially interconnected problems, suggesting a period of notable maintenance concerns for the building. The most recent complaint records available are from 2020, and there are no recorded complaints or violations in the following years through October 2023, though this absence of recent complaints could be due to limited available data rather than necessarily indicating improved conditions.
