643 Mead Street, Bronx, NY 10460

The two-family house at 643 Mead Street in Van Nest, owned by Parham Rambod, has experienced significant maintenance issues in recent months, particularly in 2025. Between May 2 and May 10, 2025, multiple complaints were filed and inspected by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD), resulting in several violations requiring correction by the property owner. These issues included problems with toilet plumbing, window frames, and water leaks, while some complaints about mold and ceiling conditions were not issued violations.

The building has an open rodent infestation violation from 2020 in the second-floor apartment, along with other maintenance violations from that year concerning a refrigerator gasket and electrical outlet cover. The property's maintenance history shows ongoing challenges with water issues and unsanitary conditions. In 2025 alone, there were multiple complaints about slow water leaks, window problems, and mold.

The building has a documented history of rodent issues, with multiple bait applications recorded in 2012, and inspections showing rat activity in 2011-2014. While a compliance inspection in February 2023 passed, a December 2022 initial inspection failed for unspecified reasons. It's worth noting that several 2025 complaints required emergency attention, including problems with toilets and windows, though some non-emergency issues were also reported. The building, constructed in 1925, is currently classified as a 2-family house and has undergone various inspections and complaints over the years, particularly in relation to plumbing, water issues, and pest control.
