2971 Edson Avenue, Bronx, NY 10469

The three-unit, three-story building at 2971 Edson Avenue in Baychester, owned by Mohamed Alsaidi and constructed in 1989, has experienced several significant maintenance issues in recent years. Most notably, in March 2025, multiple emergency complaints were filed and subsequently investigated by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD), including reports of mold, lighting problems, and various electrical issues. During this period, the building experienced multiple violations requiring attention, including unsanitary conditions with pest infestations and a slow water leak.

The HPD inspections also revealed the need for repairs to ceiling and wall surfaces in one of the apartments, and violations were issued for these conditions. Prior to these 2025 issues, the building faced several maintenance challenges in 2024, including problems with appliances (electric/gas range and refrigerator), which were eventually resolved through inspections showing no violations. Of particular concern is the current status of several open violations from August 2024 related to Apartment 2, including electrical, plumbing, and maintenance issues such as a water leak affecting the bathroom ceiling and east wall, rodent and roach infestations, and defects in plastered surfaces requiring repair and proper painting.

These violations indicate ongoing maintenance challenges affecting resident comfort and safety. Most recently, in July 2025, a complaint was investigated regarding the building's boiler system, though this was classified as "AF" in disposition. The building's maintenance history reveals a pattern of building systems issues and pest problems, with multiple violations requiring correction over the past two years. While some issues have been resolved through HPD inspections, several violations from 2024 remain open as of the current date.
