409 West 261st Street, Bronx, NY 10471

The three-unit residential building at 409 West 261st Street in North Riverdale, owned by Orest Zuk, has experienced several notable incidents since 2020, with the most recent complaint being filed in April 2023 regarding an inadequate fence, which resulted in an Oath Violation being served in May 2023. Between 2020 and 2021, there were two separate complaints about illegal hotel rooms in the building, though inspections in September 2021 found no violations at the time.

A construction-related issue in December 2020 led to a Stop Work Order, which was fully rescinded by November 2021. The building underwent Local Law Audits in July 2020, which were performed without any noted violations, and there was also a report of allegedly defective/exposed electrical wiring in February 2020, though this was also found to have no violations upon inspection in March 2020. A violation was issued in December 2020 regarding stopped work due to surrendered filing privileges, though this was ultimately dismissed in September 2022.

Notably, the building has maintained a clean record regarding bedbug infestations, with annual filings from 2021 through 2023 all reporting zero infested or eradicated units, suggesting effective pest management and maintenance practices. While the building has experienced several complaints and violations over the past few years, most have been resolved through inspections with no violations found, and the most recent issues primarily relate to building safety matters rather than tenant living conditions. The building's age (constructed in 1920) and status as a "heretofore converted Class A" structure indicate it has undergone some form of conversion from its original configuration, though specific details of this conversion are not provided in the available data.
