3530 Mickle Avenue, Bronx, NY 10469

The 28-unit, 4-story residential building at 3530 Mickle Avenue in Williamsbridge, owned by David Most and constructed in 2017, has experienced recurring maintenance and safety issues primarily related to pest control and building systems. Between 2022 and 2024, there were multiple complaints about pest infestations, including rodents in 2024 and 2023, and significant issues in 2022 affecting apartment 1B, which reported mold, floor damage, and door/window problems that required corrective action. In July 2023, both pest-related and smoke detector safety issues were documented and subsequently resolved.

The building has undergone three successful rodent inspections (2018, 2024) and has maintained a clean bedbug record since 2017, with no reported infestations. The property's maintenance history reveals several infrastructure concerns, including two 2022 violations regarding defective self-closing doors - one being a fire door in Staircase A - and problems with door security and window frames. Both violations were corrected by August 2022.

During its construction phase, there was a significant issue in 2018 when the construction superintendent was found on-site with expired credentials, resulting in a $2,500 penalty. The building's Certificate of Occupancy was initially questioned in late 2018, though no violations were found upon inspection. Both October 2022 and March 2024 inspections by the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene and the Department of Housing Preservation and Development produced varying results, with the March 2024 rodent complaint being closed through a previous inspection that found no violations. While the building has experienced periodic maintenance issues, including unsanitary conditions and safety concerns, most violations have been addressed promptly through the appropriate channels.
