1359 Rosedale Avenue, Bronx, NY 10472

The two-story, four-unit building at 1359 Rosedale Avenue, currently owned by Arsen Yakubov, has experienced significant maintenance issues over the past two years, with particular problems emerging between October 2023 and the present. The property has accumulated multiple emergency housing maintenance code complaints, particularly in the areas of plumbing (including issues with toilets and sinks), electrical systems (including persistent lighting problems), and unsanitary conditions related to pests.

Inspectors from the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) were unable to gain access to inspect multiple complaints during this time period, suggesting ongoing accessibility issues. The building is facing serious safety and habitability concerns, with current open violations in apartment 2A including lead-based paint hazards, a rodent infestation, and issues with a defective wooden tread on the public hall stairs. Recent inspections have revealed serious deficiencies in building maintenance and safety systems.

The property has active violations regarding the front entry door to apartment 2R obstructing exit, and earlier inspections documented issues with fire escape functionality. While a bedbug report filed in late 2024 showed no infested units during the previous year, the building has a history of pest control responses throughout 2023-2024, with multiple rodent inspections resulting in bait application. The building's maintenance record raises concerns about both safety and basic habitability, with violations related to fire safety, lead paint hazards, and pest infestations.
