2175 Belmont Avenue, Bronx, NY 10457

2175 Belmont Avenue is a 4-story, 8-unit New Law Tenement building constructed in 1931 and currently owned by Joseph Soleimani. The property has experienced several recurring maintenance issues in recent years, with the most concerning being a recent heat and hot water complaint affecting the entire building in April 2025, and multiple housing code violations primarily originating from apartment 7, including mold, floor damage, and pest infestation, which were finally certified as corrected in May 2025.

The building has also faced multiple plumbing, door/window, and general maintenance issues in 2025, though most were inspected with no violations found. Historical data reveals ongoing boiler-related problems, with complaints recorded in 2019 and 2024 regarding defective or poorly maintained equipment, and two active ECB violations from 2020 related to hallway floor disrepair and combustible storage in the boiler room, each carrying a penalty of $625.

The property has maintained a consistent record of addressing pest control concerns, with no bedbug infestations reported in the past seven years (2018-2025), though rodent activity appears to be a recurring issue based on multiple inspections from 2023 through 2025, with the most recent rodent inspection in June 2025 resulting in a failed result for "Other Reasons." Additionally, there are some outstanding violations requiring attention, including one from June 2023 regarding failure to file the 2021 external low-pressure inspection, and another from June 2024 regarding the lack of proper notice posting for the building's heating system. The building's maintenance history shows a pattern of addressing violations through inspections and corrective actions, though some issues, particularly those affecting apartment 7, have required multiple inspections and extended follow-up periods for resolution.
