1739 Mansion Street, Bronx, NY 10460

This 3-unit, 3-story residential building at 1739 Mansion Street in Parkchester, constructed in 2007 and currently owned by Iftakhar Mizan, has experienced several significant maintenance issues and violations over recent years. Most notably, there are three open violations from 2022-2024 regarding the filing of annual bedbug reports as required by Housing Maintenance Code. In August 2022, the building received active Environmental Control Board violations with penalties totaling $8,750 for unsafe conditions, including a sagging staircase with concrete platform and metal stairs with large cracks, as well as for constructing a combustible wooden structure without proper permits.

The building has also faced recurring maintenance issues, particularly in 2021-2022, involving problems with doors, appliances, electrical systems, heat and hot water, and evidence of mold, which resulted in multiple HPD service requests. During this period, there were several instances where HPD inspectors could not gain access to investigate complaints about water leaks, mold, and pests. Additional historical issues include multiple complaints about work being done without permits, illegal conversions, and concerns about building stability, particularly a vibration complaint in August 2022.

The second-floor apartment has documented violations from August 2021 relating to pest infestation, bathroom plumbing issues, carbon monoxide detector problems, and various repair needs. While rodent inspections have generally passed since 2018, there was a failure noted in 2017. The building's maintenance record shows a pattern of recurring issues requiring attention, with many complaints resulting in the issuance of violations or the need for repairs, particularly affecting the second-floor unit.
