1958 Anthony Avenue, Bronx, NY 10457

The three-story, three-unit residential building at 1958 Anthony Avenue in the Mount Hope neighborhood, built in 1901 and currently owned by Arsen Yakubov, has experienced recurring heat and hot water issues over recent years. Most recently, in August 2024, the building faced violations related to heating system access and safety notices, with the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) issuing multiple open violations. These violations include requirements to post notices regarding carbon monoxide detection, smoke detector requirements, and other safety-related information, as well as issues accessing the boiler room.

The building has a documented pattern of heating system problems, with multiple complaints in 2020 and 2021, though most were resolved relatively quickly. Between 2018-2019, there were several complaints regarding potential illegal conversions and zoning violations, but inspections generally found no violations warranting enforcement action. Despite these issues, the building has consistently passed rodent inspections from 2019 through 2025, suggesting regular maintenance in this area.

The only active violation as of August 2024 pertains to heating system access and related safety notices, while a prior violation regarding hot water in the 3rd-floor apartment was previously closed. The building's heating system has been the primary focus of tenant complaints, with three separate heat and hot water-related incidents reported in October-November 2020 alone. A building permit related to plumbing work was issued in November 2018, which is the most recent documented permit activity.
