2080 Matthews Avenue, Bronx, NY 10462

The two-family house at 2080 Matthews Avenue, owned by Samir Hosin and located in the Bronxdale neighborhood, has experienced several notable incidents over the past few years, with the most concerning being recurring rodent issues. Most recently, in April 2024, there was a rat sighting reported, following a similar incident in December 2022 involving conditions that were attracting rodents.

Both of these health department investigations resulted in violations being found, with follow-up inspections required. The building has had one appliance-related complaint regarding a refrigerator in early 2021, though inspectors were unable to access the property to verify the reported condition. An unsanitary animal-related complaint was filed in June 2020, which also resulted in violations requiring follow-up inspections.

While these incidents suggest ongoing pest management and maintenance challenges, it's worth noting some positive developments: according to the most recent bedbug report for the property covering the period from November 2022 to October 2023, there have been no reported infestations or eradications of bedbugs in any dwelling units. The building, constructed in 1925, is a two-story structure containing three units, and has experienced these documented issues over the past five years, with a particular frequency of rodent-related complaints. The housing maintenance code complaints and 311 service requests indicate that while violations have been found in multiple instances, there is also a record of inspections being conducted, though sometimes access for verification has been problematic.
