2265 Bathgate Avenue, Bronx, NY 10457

The 6-story, 17-unit residential building at 2265 Bathgate Avenue in Belmont, owned by Taso Vassiliou and built in 2012, has experienced several recurring issues in recent years, particularly regarding heating and water systems. Most notably, there was a cluster of heat and hot water complaints in June 2025, with multiple emergency service requests indicating ongoing problems. The building has also shown persistent maintenance challenges, including water leaks and interior surface issues, with multiple reports of paint/plaster problems and water leaks documented between 2024 and 2025.

Of particular concern is the elevator system, which has generated numerous complaints throughout 2023-2024, resulting in an active ECB violation for being out of service as of July 23, 2023, with a penalty of $1,280. While the building has maintained good records regarding pest control, with no bedbug incidents reported since 2020 and consistent passing results for rodent inspections between 2021 and 2025, there have been significant maintenance issues affecting resident comfort. These include documented heating system failures, water leaks, and various interior maintenance needs, with some complaints resulting in issued violations.

The building's safety features have also required attention, with previous violations for smoke and carbon monoxide detector deficiencies in apartment 2C in 2022, though these were certified as corrected in 2024. Recent housing maintenance code violations have included issues with the intercom system and electrical outlets in various apartments, suggesting ongoing infrastructure maintenance needs. The property has passed multiple rodent inspections in recent years, indicating effective pest management despite the occasional rat activity noted in one inspection in 2023.
