38 Patricia Lane, Bronx, NY 10465

38 Patricia Lane, a 2-story, 44-unit residential building built in 2002 in Throgs Neck and owned by Faiz Ahmed, has experienced several significant maintenance issues in recent years. Most notably, between May and July 2025, there were serious structural concerns regarding the building's balconies and cantilevered parts, with investigations revealing extreme disrepair including heavily corroded metal framing and deterioration. These issues resulted in multiple active violations from the Department of Buildings, including a partial vacate order and the requirement for a tightboard construction fence for safety.

The building has also shown a recurring pattern of infrastructure problems, with a notable cluster of complaints in 2022-2024 involving electricity issues (including power outages and wiring concerns), water leaks (both slow leaks and heavy flow), and heat/hot water problems. A recent November 2024 complaint about mold was filed but could not be inspected by HPD. Historical data indicates a bedbug infestation that affected all 44 units was reported in late 2022, though subsequent filings through 2023-2024 show no further infestations.

The building has maintained a rodent-free status since passing inspection in November 2019. Active violations as of 2025 require the owner to engage a structural engineer to evaluate the building's condition and make necessary repairs, with deadlines established for completion of work. While the property has shown compliance with various housing maintenance codes in the past, the recent structural issues represent a significant concern for resident safety and building integrity.
