607 Mead Street, Bronx, NY 10460

The 2-family house at 607 Mead Street in Van Nest, owned by Mohammad Gaznabi, is a 3-story building constructed in 2009. Recent inspections in July 2023 revealed multiple concerning issues in the second-floor apartment, including violations related to inadequate hot water supply, visible mold conditions in the bathroom, damaged kitchen cabinet doors, and a defective window sash. These violations have been documented as Class A, B, and C infractions, though some have been certified as corrected by August 2023.

The building experienced other maintenance issues in July 2023, including complaints about an electric/gas range and an emergency heat/hot water problem, though no violations were issued for the latter. The property has a history of plumbing concerns, with a steam pipe/riser issue reported and resolved in January 2020. The building has undergone rodent inspections showing mixed results: a failed inspection in December 2022 (details unspecified) followed by a passing compliance inspection in February 2023.

Bedbug reports from 2019 showed no infestations or eradication efforts required between November 2017 and November 2018. While the property is relatively new, the recent cluster of maintenance issues in mid-2023, particularly the mold and water problems, suggests ongoing challenges with building upkeep. The combination of recent violations concerning sanitation, plumbing, and window maintenance in the second-floor apartment indicates potential habitability concerns that require ongoing monitoring, though some issues have been addressed as per violation certification.
