1831 Amethyst Street, Bronx, NY 10462

The three-unit, two-story residential building at 1831 Amethyst Street in Van Nest, dating back to 1899 and currently owned by Derham Khaid, has experienced several notable maintenance and safety incidents over the past five years. Most recently, in April 2024, the building was cited for failing to submit the required annual bedbug report, though previous reports from 2023, 2022, and 2021 indicated no infestations.

The building has maintained compliance with rodent control requirements, passing inspections in 2023, 2019, and 2013, though there was one failed inspection in 2013 for unspecified reasons. Between 2019 and 2020, multiple safety concerns were documented, including broken window guards (July 2019), which were subsequently repaired, and temporary health issues such as poison ivy (June 2020). The building has undergone several inspections related to safety equipment requirements, particularly in October 2019, resulting in multiple violations that were later corrected.

These included the need to properly post notices regarding smoke detectors, carbon monoxide detectors, and gas leak procedures, though records show these violations were certified as corrected by November 2019. Emergency safety complaints were filed in July 2019 regarding window guards, carbon monoxide detectors, and smoke detectors, all of which were reportedly addressed. The property has consistently submitted its bedbug reports in recent years, with the most recent filings in 2023 and 2024 indicating no current infestations, and maintains compliance with rodent control requirements as evidenced by recent successful inspections.
