2192 Washington Avenue, Bronx, NY 10457

The three-story, three-unit building at 2192 Washington Avenue in the Belmont neighborhood, owned by Mary Dugue, has experienced several significant maintenance issues over the past few years. Most recently, in July 2023, multiple violations were recorded, including concerns with fire safety features such as a defective vestibule door, an improper roof scuttle door, and a malfunctioning ladder. Additionally, there was an issue with an illegal double cylinder locking device on the rear yard egress from the first-story apartment.

The building underwent fire damage in August 2019 affecting both the second and third story apartments, though these violations have since been closed. Between 2021 and 2022, the building was required to file annual bedbug reports, with the most recent filings (2023-2024) indicating no infestations during the previous two reporting periods. The property has maintained a generally consistent record regarding pest control, with rat activity noted in May 2025 being the only violation in recent years, though previous inspections between 2021 and 2024 showed consistent passing results for rodent inspections.

Two permits were issued in 2020 and 2021 for exterior work, indicating some level of maintenance and compliance with regulatory requirements. The most pressing current concerns appear to be related to fire safety and egress systems, though many of the recent violations from 2023 were certified as closed by July 2023. The building's age (constructed in 1901) and history of fire damage suggest that ongoing maintenance and safety compliance will require continued attention.
