2019 Hughes Avenue, Bronx, NY 10457

The 9-unit, 4-story tenement building at 2019 Hughes Avenue in Tremont, constructed in 1931 and currently owned by 2019 Bb8 LLC, has recently experienced recurring heating and hot water system issues during early 2025, with at least eight documented complaints between January and March 2025 regarding inadequate heating and hot water throughout the entire building. These issues, while occasionally resolved quickly, indicate an ongoing maintenance challenge.

The building has also faced significant safety concerns, including multiple recent violations in apartment 4 related to mold, vermin infestation, and the need for repairs to various surfaces, as well as open violations regarding building entrance security. The property has two active violations related to low-pressure inspection filings from 2023 and 2024, though not directly impacting resident safety.

While the building has maintained a pest-free record in recent bedbug reports, appearing to have no infestations or re-infestations over the past five years, rodent inspections have shown mixed results in 2025, with failures noted in February and June 2025, though a March 2025 inspection passed. The building has undergone various rodent control measures over the past two years, including bait application and multiple inspections, suggesting ongoing efforts to manage this issue. The frequency of heating system complaints in early 2025 and the presence of mold and pest-related violations in apartment 4, combined with the rodent control work, indicates several significant maintenance challenges the building management is currently addressing.
