2118 Matthews Avenue, Bronx, NY 10462

The two-family house at 2118 Matthews Avenue in Bronxdale, owned by Rabbi Ahmed, is a 2-story residential building constructed in 1950. The property has experienced several significant events, most notably in late 2019 when an unauthorized conversion was reported, leading to an inspection on November 6, 2019.

This inspection resulted in a violation notice for construction work completed without proper permits, specifically concerning the modification of a garage space where the original door was replaced with a brick and mortar wall with a window covered in chrome bars; however, no penalties were imposed for this violation. The building's rodent inspection history shows consistent compliance with health standards, having passed inspections in January 2023, May 2016, and November 2015, suggesting effective property maintenance in this regard.

While the illegal conversion incident in 2019 indicates a period of regulatory non-compliance, the absence of recent complaints or violations suggests no ongoing concerns related to this issue as of 2023. The property's relatively small number of recorded violations over the past decade and consistent passing of rodent inspections may indicate generally satisfactory building maintenance practices, though the 2019 conversion incident represents the most notable deviation from regulatory compliance on record.
