An illegal conversion history and an active vacate order hang over this small 3-unit walk-up.
This 3-unit Bronx walk-up carries an unresolved illegal conversion paper trail alongside an active vacate order on a first-floor unit. The property traded for $880,000 in August 2024, but open housing code violations remain attached to the building. Three things to know:
An active vacate order blocks reoccupancy on the first floor. City inspectors cited the building in October 2022 for converting a private dwelling into an illegal multiple dwelling and creating unlawful cooking space on the first floor. A vacate order issued on October 11, 2022, explicitly barred reoccupancy of apartment 1F until compliance was proven, and both underlying Class B violations remain open.
The building changed hands in 2024 without resolving open violations. Yaroun Realty LLC purchased the building for $880,000 in August 2024, but housing registrations name Mahmoud Tehfe as head officer without listing a dedicated managing agent. In a 3-unit building with open conversion citations, unclear management usually means delay on physical repairs.
