2141 Washington Avenue, Bronx, NY 10457

The three-story, three-unit building at 2141 Washington Avenue in the Belmont neighborhood, owned by Yonatan Badhumi and dating back to 1899, is currently experiencing significant maintenance issues. Most notably, there is an active water leak problem, with multiple HPD complaints in June 2025 describing "heavy flow" conditions that resulted in violations being issued. The building has also been grappling with mold issues, including recent emergency complaints and an open Class B violation from August 2024 concerning mold in Apartment 1's bathroom ceiling.

Additional concerns in Apartment 1 include multiple open violations for defective plastered surfaces and paint in both the bathroom and kitchen, as well as an issue with a missing carbon monoxide detector. The building's maintenance history reveals persistent problems with sanitation and pest control. HPD records from June 2025 document multiple violations related to paint/plaster issues on ceilings and walls, in addition to door-related problems.

While recent bedbug reports show no infestations or re-infestations between November 2023 and October 2024, the property has experienced ongoing rat activity, with several inspections indicating this issue persists. Compliance inspections in 2025 have shown improved conditions, passing rodent inspections in July 2025, though there was evidence of rat activity recorded in earlier 2024 inspections. The building's infrastructure challenges are further highlighted by multiple water-related complaints and violations, suggesting ongoing issues with the plumbing systems. The property has also required documented work to address various maintenance concerns, including paint and plaster repairs, indicating a pattern of reactive rather than preventative maintenance to address these persistent issues.
