2301 Bathgate Avenue, Bronx, NY 10458

The two-family house at 2301 Bathgate Avenue in Belmont, owned by Betzaly Gonzalez, has experienced several maintenance issues throughout 2023, warranting attention from the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) and other agencies. The most recent concerns involve water supply issues reported in September 2023, which were ultimately closed without violations. During mid-2023, the building faced repeated heat and hot water problems, with multiple complaints filed in July, including an emergency report on July 13 that was closed after inspection.

The building also had multiple issues regarding windows and doors, including two sets of window pane complaints in June 2023, with at least one set of violations officially recorded. Pests were reported as an unsanitary condition in both June and July 2023, with some inspections noting lack of access to the units. Additional maintenance concerns were documented in late June 2023, including requests for paint/plaster work on walls and ceilings, along with a problematic window frame issue.

In terms of building integrity, a complaint regarding potential illegal conversion was filed in June 2023, though inspectors were unable to gain access during their two attempts in June and August, and this matter remains unresolved in the system. While many of these complaints were closed without violations being noted, the frequency and nature of the issues suggest ongoing maintenance and habitability challenges within the building. The property, built in 1901, is showing signs of age-related wear and infrastructure concerns, particularly regarding basic services such as heat and water supply.
