2507 Hughes Avenue, Bronx, NY 10458

The three-story New Law tenement building at 2507 Hughes Avenue in the Belmont neighborhood, owned by Steven Kashanian, has experienced several notable issues since its construction in 1910. A significant violation was documented in January 2012, regarding unauthorized alterations to convert single apartments into two Class "A" apartments on both the second and third floors, though this violation was finally certified as resolved in July 2024. The building has faced multiple inspection access issues, including a December 2019 HPD complaint regarding ceiling paint/plaster that could not be inspected due to lack of access.

Between 2022 and 2023, there were multiple complaints and inspections by the Department of Buildings, including a Stop Work Order in March 2022 related to construction work, though this was rescinded by April 2022. Several inspections were conducted regarding rodent activity, with the building passing inspections in 2023 and early 2024, though it did fail for "Other Reasons" in late 2022 and was noted for "Rat Activity" in September 2022. The property has maintained a clean record regarding bedbugs, with no reported infestations or eradications in the past five reporting periods from 2019 through 2024.

Recent rodent inspections in 2024 and 2025 have all passed, suggesting improved conditions in this regard. The building's permit history shows active maintenance and improvements, with permits issued in both 2020 and 2022 for electrical work. Multiple complaints were filed regarding various issues between 2022 and 2023, including construction enforcement matters and gas utility referrals, though in most cases, inspectors were either unable to gain access or found no violations at the time of inspection. The property has undergone regular maintenance, with housing maintenance code violations appearing to be addressed through proper channels, though the specific nature of the work done and its impact on resident experience is not detailed in the records.
