49 Bay Street, Bronx, NY 10464

The two-family house at 49 Bay Street in City Island, owned by Haim Levy, has experienced several maintenance issues and violations since 2019. Most recently, in September 2024, there is an ongoing Department of Health complaint regarding construction lead dust entering an apartment. Throughout 2020-2021, the building faced multiple problems including emergency mold issues, appliance problems (specifically with refrigerators), and heat/hot water concerns in one of the apartments.

These complaints led to inspections in March 2021, which resulted in several violations being issued for Apartment 2 on the second story, including requirements to address bathroom conditions (painting, leaky faucets, flush mechanism repair), refit all wood doors, and address a broken glass pane in the first-story entrance door. Among the listed violations, there were specific issues with bathroom maintenance that were classified as both Class A (more serious) and Class B violations under the Administrative Code. Prior to these incidents, the building underwent a rodent inspection in August 2019, which it passed.

The property has experienced recurring issues with unsanitary conditions (specifically mold) during both 2020 and 2021, along with multiple complaints regarding refrigerator problems and heat/hot water issues. While many of these violations were marked as closed, including those related to the unsafe conditions identified during inspections, the most recent complaint regarding construction lead dust indicates that some maintenance concerns persist in the building. The variety of complaints and violations over the years suggests a pattern of maintenance issues affecting resident comfort and safety, particularly regarding water systems, mold, and general building upkeep.
