41 Maple Avenue

The 6-unit, 4-story residential building at 41 Maple Avenue in Port Richmond, owned by Samir Lazoja and constructed in 2007, has experienced notable heating system issues in early 2023. Specifically, there were two separate heat and hot water complaints from March 28-30, 2023, affecting the entire building, though no violations were issued following inspections, and the Department of Housing Preservation and Development was later informed that services had been restored. The building's maintenance history shows an open mold violation from May 2018, concerning approximately 20 square feet of mold on the north wall of the second-story public hall, which remains unresolved as of July 2025. Additionally, a rodent inspection conducted in May 2018 resulted in a failure for "Other Reasons," though specific details were not provided in the records.

On a positive note, there have been no reported bedbug infestations in the building from 2020 through mid-2025, with multiple filings confirming zero infested or re-infested units during each reporting period. The property has maintained consistent bedbug monitoring, with reports submitted in 2022, 2023, and most recently in 2024, all showing no evidence of infestation. Since the heating incidents in March 2023, there have been no further heating complaints recorded, suggesting the issues may have been an isolated incident. While the building's history shows some maintenance concerns from 2018, particularly regarding mold and pests, the absence of recent complaints or new violations over the past few years indicates improved conditions, though the unresolved mold issue from 2018 warrants attention.
