2384 Hughes Avenue, Bronx, NY 10458

2384 Hughes Avenue is a 5-story, 10-unit New Law Tenement building located in the Belmont neighborhood, built in 1910 and currently owned by Salvatore Dimaggio. The building has experienced recurring heat and hot water issues throughout 2025, with multiple tenant complaints between January and March 2025, all classified as emergency situations involving the entire building.

While some complaints were resolved with heat and hot water restoration, others were closed due to lack of access for inspection. The building's most recent inspection in November 2024 revealed several open violations requiring attention, including safety concerns such as a rope preventing roof door access, damaged smoke detector requirements posting, and various door and maintenance issues throughout the building. Notably, there was a significant violation related to Apartment 8 regarding fire egress and window safety.

The building has maintained relatively good pest control records, with zero bedbug infestations reported in the past three years (2025-2024 through 2023-2022), and rodent inspections conducted consistently showing mostly passed results, though there was one instance of rat activity noted in August 2022. The property had minimal violations and complaints prior to the recent heat issues, with only one Department of Buildings complaint in 2020 regarding illegal commercial use, which was investigated and found to warrant no violations. The building classifies as a "C" occupancy under Housing Maintenance Code, and while it has multiple open violations as of 2024, it has shown consistent efforts to address rodent issues, as evidenced by passing inspections throughout 2023-2025.
