631 Mead Street, Bronx, NY 10460

631 Mead Street is a two-family house located in the Van Nest neighborhood, built in 1925 and currently owned by Rayhan Ahmed. The property has experienced several significant maintenance and safety issues over the past three years, with the most recent concerns emerging in August 2024 including violations related to water leaks (heavy flow), window frame problems, and mold, all of which were classified as emergencies and subsequently closed.

During August 2023, multiple safety-related issues were documented, including violations involving carbon monoxide detectors, though inspections revealed only some issues meriting violations. Other maintenance concerns from this period, such as problems with the floor, ceiling, and pest issues, while inspected, did not result in violations being issued.

The building's violation history shows two notable complaints to the Department of Buildings: one in 2023 regarding potential illegal conversion (closed without access) and another in 2019 concerning construction work contrary to approved plans (also closed due to inability to gain access). The property has had various maintenance issues requiring attention to heating, cooling, and ventilation systems, roofing, and water leaks, with the most recent cluster of problems in 2024 indicating ongoing infrastructure challenges. While many complaints have been resolved through HPD interventions, the pattern of violations and the nature of the most recent complaints suggest persistent maintenance and safety concerns that have required multiple interventions by city agencies.
