2037 Hughes Avenue, Bronx, NY 10457
2037 Hughes Avenue is a 5-story, 27-unit New Law tenement building located in Tremont, built in 1912 and currently owned by Emilio Dimatteo. The building has experienced ongoing heating system issues, particularly during winter months, with multiple complaints about lack of heat and hot water affecting both individual apartments and the entire building recorded from December 2024 through February 2025. These service requests, while typically resolved through HPD inspections confirming corrections, indicate persistent problems with the building's heating infrastructure.
The property has also faced several code violations, particularly in late 2024, including pest infestations (notably in Apartment 5) and various maintenance issues such as peeling paint and door deficiencies in Apartments 11, 18, and 23. Historical data shows a pattern of boiler-related issues, with multiple complaints about defective or unpermitted boilers between 2020-2022, along with several Environmental Control Board violations from 2018-2024 regarding unauthorized work and failure to comply with correction orders, totaling significant penalty amounts. While recent rodent inspection results from 2022-2025 show generally passing grades, there were periods of rat activity noted in mid-2022.
The building's maintenance history reveals a mix of both resolved and ongoing issues, with recent service requests primarily focused on heating system problems and mailbox maintenance. Environmental Control Board records show several active violations from 2018-2024 related to boiler installation and failure to file necessary certificates of correction, with penalties ranging from $625 to $12,500. However, the building's bedbug reporting from 2022-2023 indicates no infestations during the specified period. The property has undergone multiple rodent inspections in recent years, with most showing compliance, though there were instances of rat activity noted in 2021 and mid-2022, suggesting occasional pest management challenges.
