2444 East Tremont Avenue, Bronx, NY 10461

This two-family, formerly converted Class A building at 2444 East Tremont Avenue in Westchester Square, owned by Ahsan Elahi, has a documented history of maintenance issues, particularly in recent years. Most concerning are ongoing problems with water leaks, including a significant incident in April 2024 that resulted in violations being issued, and another heavy flow water leak in April 2023.

The building is currently facing several active violations for failing to file required External Low-Pressure Inspection reports for the years 2018-2021, dating back to June 2023. In April 2024, the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) issued violations related to safety concerns, specifically regarding smoke and carbon monoxide detectors. The second-floor apartment (2F) has multiple documented issues requiring attention, including the need to address a pest infestation (specifically roaches), repair broken intercom systems, address multiple plaster and paint deficiencies, and fix roof leaks affecting the kitchen ceiling.

While the building has maintained an active record of pest control measures without any reported bedbug infestations since 2020-2021, the presence of pests was noted in 2023. The property has also been inspected for rodent presence, passing an April 2019 inspection. While many previous complaints have been resolved, including plumbing issues affecting sinks and bathtubs, and conditions related to walls and flooring, the persistence of water-related issues and the recent spike in safety equipment violations are notable concerns for residents.
