2353 Hughes Avenue, Bronx, NY 10458

2353 Hughes Avenue is a 3-unit, 3-story residential building constructed in 2005 and currently owned by Adelaida Wiegand. The property has experienced several significant maintenance issues over the past five years. Most notably, there was a heat and hot water complaint in April 2020 that required HPD intervention, though inspectors were unable to access the apartments for verification.

The building has faced recurring administrative challenges regarding bedbug reporting compliance, receiving violations in 2021, 2022, and 2023 for failing to file the required annual reports, though recent filings from 2024 show zero infested units during the 2022-2023 reporting period. In 2022, there was a partial vacate order issued concerning facade hazards affecting both this building and the adjacent property, specifically impacting the driveway at the west elevation. More recent inspections have focused on rodent control, with the most recent initial inspection in June 2025 resulting in a failure for "Other Reasons," marking a departure from the passing results observed in previous years.

The Department of Buildings has typically found no violations warranting action during inspections, including in May 2022 when construction and maintenance complaints were investigated. The building's overall maintenance record shows a pattern of resolving identified issues, though with some recurring problems, particularly with heat/hot water availability and bedbug reporting compliance in previous years. The most recent rodent inspection results suggest ongoing challenges in maintaining pest control standards.
