2116 Arthur Avenue, Bronx, NY 10457

The 9-story, 108-unit residential building at 2116 Arthur Avenue in the Belmont neighborhood, constructed in 2015 and currently owned by Jeffrey Halfpenny, has experienced several significant maintenance issues in 2025. Most recently, in June 2025, there are open complaints regarding smoke detector problems and ceiling plaster/paint issues. Prior to this, between March and May 2025, there were multiple heating and plumbing emergencies, including complaints about heat/hot water in both the entire building and individual apartments, as well as radiator problems.

The building has also faced appliance issues, with a documented electric/gas range problem in April 2025. Of particular concern, the only open violation as of December 2024 pertains to an ongoing roach infestation in apartment 3C, though other violations from the same inspection were resolved, including electrical issues and the need for smoke detector repairs. The property has maintained an active record of addressing pests, with regular bedbug reports from 2019 to 2024 indicating no infestations.

However, rodent inspections show a mixed history, with most recent inspections in 2024 and 2025 passing but earlier inspections indicating rat activity. Building systems have faced scrutiny, with a boiler complaint referred to HPD in 2023 and various building violations regarding energy efficiency documentation. Apartment 3C has particularly stood out in inspections, with multiple violations identified in December 2024 including electrical problems, leaky faucets, and a carbon monoxide detector issue, though many of these were subsequently certified as corrected by February 2025. The building's maintenance history shows a pattern of heating system challenges, with multiple complaints about heat/hot water issues being documented in 2025, including one affecting the entire building.
