2256 Westchester Avenue, Bronx, NY 10462

The 4-unit, 2-story building at 2256 Westchester Avenue, owned by Akm Ref Mollah, has demonstrated significant maintenance challenges since 2020, when multiple violations were cited following a December inspection. These violations include failures to properly address lead-based paint hazard controls in apartments 1F and 2R, as well as several deficiencies in building safety and information requirements, such as not posting necessary notices regarding carbon monoxide detection, gas leak procedures, and tenant safety information.

The building experienced heat and hot water issues in January 2021 that affected the entire building, though inspectors were unable to access units for verification. Additionally, there was a garbage/recycling storage concern reported in August 2022 that was also closed due to lack of inspection access. More recently, all bedbug reports from late 2021 through 2024 show zero infested or re-infested units, indicating effective pest management during this period.

The building's rodent inspection history shows a compliance pass in December 2015, following an initial failure in October of that year. While the current housing maintenance code violations from 2020 remain open as of the latest inspection records, there have been no new violations or major service requests reported since 2022. The lack of bedbug infestations in recent years and the building's age and classification as a "New Law Tenement" provide important context for understanding the property's history and current status.
