2462 Hughes Avenue, Bronx, NY 10458

2462 Hughes Avenue is a 3-story, 3-unit residential building located in the Belmont neighborhood, constructed in 1910 and currently owned by Israel Ortiz. The property has experienced recurring heat and hot water issues, most recently documented through multiple emergency complaints in December 2024 that required HPD inspection and resulted in violations, indicating a building-wide heating system problem.

The building's history reveals several inspections and complaints in 2018-2019 related to structural concerns, including reports of building shaking and stability issues, though these complaints were ultimately closed with no violations found upon inspection. A notable violation from January 2019 regarding the failure to certify correction of an immediately hazardous condition was dismissed the following month.

The building has maintained a clean record in terms of pest infestations, as evidenced by three consecutive bedbug reports (2023-2025) showing zero infested units, with no eradication or re-infestation cases reported during these periods. The most recent building-wide heating issues have been the primary maintenance concern in recent years, marking a significant shift from the building's relatively issue-free status in 2021-2022. While the property has experienced various maintenance challenges over its history, including the structural concerns of 2018, most recent complaints suggest a focus on addressing basic service issues, particularly regarding heating systems.
