6211 Broadway, Bronx, NY 10471

The 6-story, 44-unit residential building at 6211 Broadway in Fieldston, owned by Besnik Celaj, has experienced numerous maintenance and safety issues in recent years. Most notably, in 2025 alone, there have been multiple unresolved complaints about unsanitary conditions (specifically mold), electrical problems (including no lighting), flooring issues, and refrigerator problems, all from April 2025. An ongoing lead dust issue in common areas was reported in March 2025.

In 2024, the building faced significant heating and hot water system problems affecting multiple apartments, and several units had documented violations related to safety equipment, including missing smoke detectors and carbon monoxide detectors in Apartment 1D. Structural concerns have been prominent, particularly following 2022's critical incidents involving foundation work at the adjacent 6201 Broadway, which caused displacement and cracking issues requiring emergency repairs. The building's maintenance record shows a pattern of recurring problems with basic services and safety features. Violations have included inadequate lighting in common areas, water supply issues, and various safety code violations.

There is also a documented history of rodent activity, with multiple inspections showing evidence between 2021 and 2024. While the building has maintained compliance with bedbug reporting requirements (showing no reported infestations since 2019), the overall condition raises concerns. The Department of Buildings has several active violations as of 2025, including unresolved structural and safety issues, though some previous violations have been addressed and certified as corrected. The property has undergone various maintenance inspections, repairs, and received multiple permits for work, indicating ongoing efforts to address building needs, though some issues persist or reoccur regularly.
