3601 Mickle Avenue, Bronx, NY 10469

The two-family house at 3601 Mickle Avenue in Williamsbridge, owned by Edith Obi, has experienced several significant maintenance issues over recent years, with the most pressing being a mold problem documented in January 2024. This mold infestation, which was measured at approximately 25 square feet and located in the bathroom of the second-story apartment, resulted in Class B violations that required both remediation and painting of affected surfaces.

More concerning, there is currently an open Class B violation regarding the absence of an approved carbon monoxide detecting device in the same apartment. The building has a documented history of heating and hot water issues, particularly noted in March 2021, when multiple complaints were filed regarding inadequate heat and hot water throughout the building and in individual apartments. These problems resulted in various violations, including inadequate heat supply and hot/cold water issues in the second-story apartment, though these violations were ultimately closed after inspection.

Additionally, there were plumbing-related issues during this period, including radiator and water supply problems. The building, constructed in 1955, is three stories tall and contains two residential units, with the majority of documented violations occurring in the second-story apartment. While some violations from 2021 were resolved, the recent 2024 mold situation and unresolved carbon monoxide detector violation are particularly notable from a safety and habitability perspective.
