601 Baker Avenue, Bronx, NY 10460

601 Baker Avenue is a three-story, three-unit New Law Tenement building located in the Van Nest neighborhood and owned by Zef Curanaj. The 1920 structure has experienced several maintenance and compliance issues over recent years, with the most pressing concerns being the open violation related to the mandatory annual bedbug report filing (dating back to 2021 through 2024 inspections) and a 2021 incident involving multiple violations in apartment 3RDFL.

The 2021 violations in 3RDFL included problems with ceiling plaster and paint, a leaking roof affecting the fourth room from the north at east, and issues with self-closing doors. More recent health concerns emerged in February 2024 with a sewage odor complaint that received attention from the Department of Health, though it appears to have been resolved with an advisory. The building has undergone various environmental scrutiny, with the most recent activity being a 2024 Department of Buildings investigation of unsafe scaffold conditions during exterior work, resulting in a $2,500 violation.

Two significant ECB violations from 2024 and 2018 remain active, related to scaffolding safety and unpermitted work involving a metal fence erection. However, one positive note for the building's current condition is the passing rodent inspection conducted in December 2022, suggesting effective pest control measures at that time. The property has experienced multiple regulatory inspections and has several open violations, particularly regarding building safety and maintenance requirements, though some earlier violations from 2021 including building code violations and work safety concerns appear to have been addressed or closed.
