2128 Hughes Avenue, Bronx, NY 10457

The two-story, three-unit residential building at 2128 Hughes Avenue in the Belmont neighborhood, owned by Anastasia Kliafas, has a concerning pattern of maintenance issues and environmental challenges over the past several years. Most notably, there are ongoing bedbug documentation violations, with open violations dating back to 2021-2024 indicating non-compliance with the requirement to file annual bedbug reports.

The building has experienced significant water and plumbing issues, evidenced by multiple Housing Maintenance Code complaints in late 2020, including heavy water flow leaks affecting basins/sinks, unsanitary conditions involving mold and pests, and cabinet problems, though HPD was unable to gain access to investigate these complaints at the time. More recently, the property has faced recurring rodent issues, with inspection records showing consistent rat activity from 2023 through 2025, though a compliance inspection in June 2025 resulted in a "Passed" rating.

Various rodent control measures were implemented, including bait application in late 2023. While the building's most recent rodent inspection shows improvement, the ongoing pattern of violations and service requests over the past several years suggests persistent maintenance challenges. The property's age (built in 1901) combined with these documented issues indicates potential ongoing concerns related to building infrastructure and pest management that prospective tenants should be aware of.
