1985 Bathgate Avenue, Bronx, NY 10457

1985 Bathgate Avenue is a three-story, three-unit residential building located in the Tremont neighborhood, owned by Joselys Cornelio and constructed in 2000. The property has experienced several recurring maintenance issues, most notably with heat and hot water systems, including a recent complaint in November 2024 that could not be investigated due to lack of access.

The building has been subject to multiple violations regarding annual bedbug reporting requirements between 2021 and 2023, though recent filings from 2024 indicate no infested or re-infested dwelling units. Significant building code issues were documented in 2019, including an unpermitted cinder block and window enclosure in the rear yard, for which there is currently an active ECB violation with a $1,250 penalty. That same year, various safety-related violations were recorded, including problems with hot water supply, sprinkler system requirements, and self-closing doors, though most were subsequently closed.

The building's recent history shows improved conditions in certain areas, with the most recent rodent inspection in February 2025 showing a passing result, continuing a pattern of successful rodent control demonstrated in multiple previous inspections from 2013 through 2017. While the property has maintained compliance with rodent control requirements and has shown some administrative improvements, recurring issues with heat/hot water systems and the historical bedbug reporting violations suggest ongoing maintenance challenges. The building underwent significant inspection activity in 2019, revealing multiple safety and compliance issues that appear to have been addressed through subsequent repairs and corrections, though one notable open violation regarding unauthorized construction remains.
