2323 Newbold Avenue, Bronx, NY 10462

2323 Newbold Avenue is a two-family residence located in Unionport, built in 1920 and currently owned by Mohammed Kabir. The property has experienced significant maintenance issues, particularly during the latter half of 2022, when multiple complaints were filed and investigated by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) between October and November 2022. These complaints included emergency heat and hot water failures affecting apartments, and substantial maintenance issues such as mold growth and appliance problems affecting both the refrigerator and electric/gas range.

While some of these issues resulted in violations being issued, one heat/hot water complaint and the electric/gas range issue did not result in violations. The building's heating system appeared to be a persistent concern, with two separate heat/hot water complaints (one in October and another in November 2022) suggesting ongoing temperature control challenges within the units. More recent history shows two complaints filed in 2024, though neither resulted in access being granted to inspectors.

In July 2024, an illegal conversion complaint was filed but ended with an "unable to gain access" disposition on September 16, 2024. Earlier, in November 2022, a complaint regarding a defective/inoperative boiler was similarly marked as "unable to gain access" during a second final attempt on December 7, 2022. The building's documented history suggests recurring concerns with heating systems and general maintenance, with particularly notable issues regarding heat and hot water during the fall of 2022, as well as concerns about appliance functionality and unsanitary conditions in the same period.
