2190 Washington Avenue, Bronx, NY 10457

The two-family house at 2190 Washington Avenue in Belmont, owned by Jay Domadia, has experienced significant maintenance challenges over the past year. Most notably, from October to November 2023, the building faced multiple water-related issues, including repeated heavy flow leaks and slow leaks, which resulted in multiple Housing Maintenance Code violations, particularly affecting Unit 3 on the second floor.

The building's condition has been particularly problematic in late 2023 and early 2024, with documented issues including defective plaster surfaces and paint conditions on ceilings requiring repairs, problems with refrigerator appliances, and flooring concerns. The Housing Preservation and Development Department (HPD) conducted several inspections, issuing multiple violations related to water leaks, ceiling damage, and other maintenance issues, though most were resolved within weeks of being reported. In addition to these internal maintenance issues, the property has shown a concerning pattern of rodent activity between 2023 and 2025, with multiple inspections confirming rat activity and the application of bait in the latter part of 2023.

The building, constructed in 1901, has undergone various repairs and inspections, with particular attention required for the roof and associated water damage affecting both ceilings and walls. As of November 2023, several Housing Maintenance Code complaints were filed and subsequently closed, covering issues with ceilings, water leaks, and appliances. While most of these issues have been addressed and closed through inspections and repairs, the building's maintenance history indicates ongoing challenges with water management and general upkeep.
