5730 Mosholu Avenue, Bronx, NY 10471

The 43-unit, 6-story building at 5730 Mosholu Avenue in North Riverdale, owned by Lush Ndou and constructed in 1963, has experienced several significant maintenance and safety issues in recent years. Most troubling are the recent mold and water leak problems, with multiple emergency service requests in 2024, including attempts by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) to inspect and address unsanitary conditions.

The building's maintenance history shows recurring issues with building-wide heating and hot water systems, particularly in March 2020 when HPD received multiple complaints about inadequate heat/hot water conditions affecting the entire building. The most recent inspection in November 2024 noted multiple violations in apartment 6F, including issues with mold in built-in wood cabinets, defective plaster surfaces, and concerns about a leaking roof section, though many violations from this inspection have since been marked as closed. The building has maintained a relatively clean record regarding bedbug infestations, with no reported cases in the past five years except for one incident in 2019 that was promptly addressed.

Recent inspections have revealed several safety compliance issues requiring attention, including problems with self-closing doors in the compactor area, missing safety notices, and various maintenance violations in common areas. While there have been a few complaints about egress and drainage issues in 2024 and 2020, inspections have generally found no violations or the problems were addressed. A permit for work in the building was issued in July 2019, though the specific nature of the work is not detailed in the records available.
