1876 Belmont Avenue, Bronx, NY 10457

1876 Belmont Avenue is a 92-unit, 7-story residential building constructed in 1992 and currently owned by Salvatore Gigante. The building has experienced recurring heat and hot water issues throughout 2024-2025, with multiple complaints filed through HPD, including three building-wide complaints in January 2025 and several in December 2024. These systems issues appear to persist as of 2025, despite some complaints being closed after inspections or tenant confirmations of repairs.

The building has also faced notable maintenance challenges, particularly in apartment 7N, which has documented water damage issues in both the living room and closet areas as of March 2024, leading to an active ECB violation with a $625 penalty. Additional violations from 2022-2024 include failure to submit required annual inspections and reports for exterior walls, and there have been multiple bedbug infestation incidents recorded, most recently showing one unit affected for the period 2023-2024. The Department of Buildings has recorded various maintenance issues, including a building vibration complaint in February 2024 and an elevator service complaint in January 2024, though neither resulted in violations at the time of inspection.

Apartment 5M was cited for multiple issues in September 2024, including defective caulk around the bathtub, a damaged kitchen countertop, and bathroom door problems, though these violations have since been certified as corrected. The building's rodent inspection history shows some recent challenges, with two failed inspections in late 2024 and early 2025 indicating rodent activity, though a compliance inspection in March 2025 passed. While the building has undergone some permitted plumbing work in recent years (as evidenced by multiple permits issued from 2018-2020), the persistent nature of the heat, water, and pest issues suggests ongoing maintenance concerns that warrant attention.
