2043 Bathgate Avenue, Bronx, NY 10457

The two-family house at 2043 Bathgate Avenue in Tremont, owned by Neriya Borukhov, has experienced persistent heat and hot water issues throughout 2025, with eight consecutive complaints filed between January and April of that year, though many of these complaints were duplicates related to the same building-wide problem. Inspection attempts were frequently unsuccessful due to access issues, though one inspection did result in violations that require correction.

The building has a documented history of electrical work violations, including a 2020 ECB violation for unpermitted electrical work that resulted in a $400 penalty, and an inspection in January 2025 regarding defective/exposed wiring where access was again not granted. The property, built in 1901, has generally maintained compliance with various inspections, including rodent inspections which passed in July 2025 and a clean bedbug report for the 2022-2023 period.

However, there were two instances of failed rodent inspections noted in 2022, indicating some pest control challenges. While there have been multiple complaints and violations recorded, including zoning and permit issues, many of these have been resolved or dismissed upon re-inspection. The building's maintenance history suggests ongoing challenges with both heating systems and access for inspections, as highlighted by the recurring HPD complaints and inspection difficulties.
