3018 Barnes Avenue, Bronx, NY 10467

The 4-unit, 2-story tenement building at 3018 Barnes Avenue in Williamsbridge, owned by Moznur Rahman, has experienced several significant maintenance issues in recent years. Most notably, in 2023, apartment 1F was found to have multiple violations including missing smoke and carbon monoxide detectors, pest infestations (both roaches and mice), mold issues, water leaks, and problems with electrical systems and plastered surfaces.

The building's history shows recurring electrical issues, with multiple complaints about wiring problems and power outages between 2021-2022, as well as appliance-related concerns including gas range problems. The property has also faced serious safety concerns, including violations for obstructed exit pathways and illegal single-room occupancy conversions, with complaints filed in 2020-2021 showing unauthorized conversion of the first-story apartment into multiple single-room occupancies.

Recent maintenance violations include an open bedbug reporting requirement from April 2024, though the most recent bedbug report from 2023 showed no infestation during the reporting period. The building's systems have undergone various inspections, with rodent inspections in 2014, 2018, and 2022 all passing, though the most recent 2023 inspection showed multiple housing maintenance code violations. While many historical complaints have been resolved, including several 2021 violations regarding smoke detectors and wiring, the building continues to require attention to address recurring issues, particularly in apartment 1F which has been the focus of multiple recent inspections and violations.
