1853 Matthews Avenue, Bronx, NY 10462
The two-family house at 1853 Matthews Avenue in the Van Nest neighborhood, owned by Samee Rehman, has a mixed maintenance record since its construction in 1960. Most recently, in May 2025, the property experienced an incident involving over 5 gallons of standing water, which resulted in a DOHMH inspection and the issuance of a summons to the owner, with follow-up inspections planned.
The building faced a heat and hot water emergency in May 2022, though the Department of Housing Preservation and Development verified that the issues were corrected within two days of the complaint. Recent records indicate a total absence of bedbug infestations across three annual reporting periods (2020, 2021, and most recently 2023), with zero units reported as infested, eradicated, or re-infested.
A rodent inspection conducted in January 2023 also resulted in a passing grade. While the building's recent history shows improvements in pest management and rodent control, the standing water issue in 2025 raises concerns about ongoing maintenance challenges.
