183 City Island Avenue, Bronx, NY 10464
The three-story, six-unit building at 183 City Island Avenue, owned by Barry Farkas, has a significant record of maintenance issues and violations since 2023. Most notably, in July 2024, the property experienced multiple water-related problems, including heavy water leaks, mold issues, and ceiling damage, all of which were classified as emergencies. These recent water-related complaints followed a pattern of similar issues in earlier months, with similar complaints appearing in February 2024.
The building has also faced ongoing challenges with its sidewalk shed safety, with multiple violations issued between 2023 and 2024 regarding improper maintenance and expired permits, resulting in thousands of dollars in penalties. An active Environmental Control Board violation from November 2024 pertains to missing caps on bolts and unsecured mudsills. Earlier violations from 2024 show various maintenance issues, including electrical problems, indoor air quality concerns, and rodent infestations, though recent rodent compliance inspections from August 2024 showed passing results.
The building's maintenance record shows a history of ventilation complaints in 2024, and an environmental inspection in 2024 noted that certain public areas required cleaning, and fire safety features needed attention. Despite these numerous issues, many recent complaints have been closed without violations being issued. The building's bedbug reports from 2021-2024 show zero infested units, suggesting no current bedbug problems. While the property has had recurring maintenance issues, particularly related to water damage and sidewalk shed violations, recent inspections indicate some improvements, though the active violations regarding the sidewalk shed remain a significant concern.
