831 Arnow Avenue, Bronx, NY 10467

831 Arnow Avenue is a two-story, seven-unit residential building built in 1931, currently owned by Marash Elezaj. The property has experienced several significant maintenance issues in recent years, with the most pressing concern being recurrent mold problems, including a recent emergency complaint filed in May 2025 that HPD was unable to inspect.

Between January and May 2025, multiple complaints were filed regarding various maintenance issues including door and window problems, water leaks, and paint/plaster work needed, most of which HPD inspectors were unable to complete due to access issues. The building has active violations for failure to file external low-pressure inspections from 2018 through 2023, and multiple complaints regarding illegal hotel room usage in the building have been reported throughout 2024-2025, although inspections were often denied or found no violations at the time. The building also experienced several critical infrastructure issues, including a heat and hot water outage in November 2024 (subsequently resolved), and a power outage in February 2025.

Apartment 1A has documented maintenance issues including problems with bathroom plaster, kitchen vinyl floor tiles, and mold at the window sill identified in March 2024. The property has a history of rodent control challenges, with various inspections between 2012 and 2023 showing both rat activity and compliance passes; the most recent inspection in March 2023 passed. There have been multiple violations related to inadequate fire safety conditions in public areas, particularly concerning broken or defective fire-retardant plaster in hallways, though some older violations from 2019-2022 remain active concerning low-pressure system inspections.
