2716 Yates Avenue, Bronx, NY 10469

The two-family house at 2716 Yates Avenue in Allerton, owned by Furrukh Nawaz, was built in 2006 and has experienced several significant issues in recent years, with particular concern in 2019 when multiple complaints and violations were recorded. During May 2019, three separate complaints regarding illegal conversions were filed, with at least one resulting in an "Oath Violation Served" status. The most serious concerns during this period were documented in four Environmental Control Board (ECB) violations, all of which remain active as of October 2023.

These violations include hazardous conditions with deteriorating brick and mortar stairs and deck (violations #35406219M, penalty $3,125), improper storage of construction equipment and materials around the property (violation #35406220J, penalty $6,250), and illegal parking of a commercial vehicle in a residential district (violation #35406218K, penalty $6,250). Additionally, violation #35406221L pertains to failure to properly sign off on an expired building permit (penalty $6,250). The total penalties from these violations amount to $18,625, with substantial outstanding balances remaining.

The building's recent maintenance record shows some improvement, as evidenced by a rodent inspection conducted in June 2022 that resulted in a passing grade. However, given the active ECB violations related to building maintenance and use, as well as the history of illegal conversion complaints, there are ongoing concerns about the building's compliance with residential codes and regulations. The property's most recent documented activity, as of June 2022, indicates successful compliance with one important health and safety standard (rodent control), but this is somewhat overshadowed by the outstanding violation history.
