2016 Hughes Avenue, Bronx, NY 10457
2016 Hughes Avenue is a five-story, 20-unit New Law Tenement building constructed in 1912 and currently owned by Moshe Piller. The building has experienced recurring maintenance issues in recent years, particularly in 2025, with multiple service requests filed in May 2025 regarding electrical systems (wiring, outlets), flooring, and general maintenance concerns such as cabinets, though HPD was unable to complete inspections for several of these complaints.
Prior to these recent issues, there were three separate heat and hot water complaints in late 2024, though these were reportedly resolved. The building has documented several housing maintenance code violations, particularly in September 2024, including problems with self-closing doors and security latches at various entrances, though these violations were certified as corrected by October 2024. In addition to maintenance issues, the building has been dealing with significant pest and rodent challenges.
A November 2024 inspection found evidence of cockroach infestation in apartment 4A, along with multiple other violations including inadequate water supply, leaky faucets, and missing safety devices. The building's rodent inspections from 2023 through 2025 consistently recorded rat activity, with bait applied on several occasions (most recently December 2023 and September 2024). While the building has maintained a clean bedbug record for multiple reporting periods between 2021 and 2024, the persistent rodent and cockroach issues indicate ongoing challenges with building maintenance and pest control.
