6393 Broadway, Bronx, NY 10471

6393 Broadway, a two-story residential building in North Riverdale owned by Vishal Patel, was constructed in 1958 and has experienced several concerning maintenance issues in recent years. The property has had multiple incidences of unsanitary conditions reported through 311 service requests, including pest infestations and mold, with the most recent cluster of complaints occurring in December 2022 and remaining unresolved until August 2023. These issues were documented through both 311 complaints and Housing Maintenance Code violations, though no official violations were issued following inspections.

The building's history shows a recurring problem with pests, including a rat sighting in 2019 and multiple documented rodent activity inspections between 2011 and 2019, with the most recent inspections in December 2019 showing active rat presence. Of particular note is the building's bedbug situation, with the most recent report covering the period from November 2021 to October 2022 indicating 31 eradicated units, though no current infestations were reported. Previous bedbug reports from 2021 and earlier years showed varying levels of activity, with all units reported as eradicated.

The property has maintained regular compliance with bedbug reporting requirements between 2019 and 2024, though an open violation from April 2024 indicates a need for improved record-keeping in this area. Other maintenance issues have included problems with electrical outlets/switches and door frames, though these were also closed without violations being issued. While many of these complaints have been addressed and closed, the pattern of pest-related issues and the recent bedbug eradication activity suggests ongoing challenges with building maintenance and resident comfort.
