2177 Belmont Avenue, Bronx, NY 10457

The two-family house at 2177 Belmont Avenue in the Belmont neighborhood, owned by Dhanmattie Boodhoo, was constructed in 2007 and has a two-story configuration. The building has experienced several notable issues over the past few years, particularly regarding its heating system, with emergency heat and hot water complaints recorded in both November 2018 and March 2019.

While these complaints were investigated by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD), with one incident showing restoration of services, there were no violations issued in the November 2018 inspection. More recently, the building has faced maintenance challenges, including a housing maintenance code violation identified in October 2024 regarding the boiler room door in Apartment 2, which was certified as corrected in January 2025. Another historical violation from November 2018 involved a missing carbon monoxide detector in Apartment 1, though this was corrected within a week.

The building's rodent inspections present a mixed picture; while the most recent inspections in 2025, 2024 (December), and 2024 (July) all passed, there were multiple instances of rat activity noted in 2024 and 2023. These included four initial inspections with rat activity (June 2023, December 2023, February 2024, and June 2024), though subsequent compliance inspections generally showed improvement, with passing results in August 2023 and other months. The property has two residential units and has been under this ownership since its construction, with the most recent building violation being addressed relatively quickly compared to historical issues.
