2551 Colden Avenue, Bronx, NY 10469

The 2-story, 4-unit building at 2551 Colden Avenue in Allerton, owned by Erol Mamudoski and constructed in 1939, has experienced several significant maintenance issues in recent years, particularly concerning building-wide heat and hot water systems. Most notably, there were heating system failures reported in October 2023 and earlier instances in November 2021, which were temporarily resolved but indicate potential ongoing problems with the building's HVAC infrastructure.

The property has also faced multiple water-related issues, including leaks in 2022, with one case classified as "heavy flow" in August 2022. A set of documented violations from 2022-2023 concerning Apartment 2A remain particularly concerning, including issues with smoke and carbon monoxide detectors, a leaking roof in the kitchen, and problems with ceiling paint/plastering. Recent inspections and violations from 2023-2024 show some attention to safety concerns, with a notice from October 2023 regarding defective self-closing doors, though this was subsequently certified as corrected in November 2023.

The building's management has maintained reasonably good records regarding bedbug reporting, with no infestations reported in the most recent filings for 2023-2024 and 2022-2023. The property passed rodent inspections in 2012, 2017, and 2023, suggesting overall pest control has been effectively managed. While there have been various complaints and service requests over the years, it's worth noting that many HPD inspections resulted in either no violations or complaints being closed without formal citations, though this doesn't necessarily indicate that all issues were fully resolved.
