2303 Belmont Avenue, Bronx, NY 10458

2303 Belmont Avenue is a 4-story, 8-unit residential building located in the Belmont neighborhood and owned by Joseph Quintessenza. The building, which dates back to 1910, has experienced recurring issues with heating and hot water systems throughout early 2025, with multiple complaints logged between January and March 2025, including several instances when HPD was unable to gain access for inspection, though many complaints were subsequently resolved or had conditions corrected. These heating issues prompted emergency Housing Maintenance Code complaints.

The property is currently facing several open violations from a February 2024 inspection, including concerns about carbon monoxide detectors in Apartment 6, defective fire retardant materials in the 4th-floor public hall, and roof leaks affecting the 4th-floor public hall, among others. A notable safety violation for a broken glass pane in the 1st-floor vestibule door was addressed and closed, along with a more recent violation requiring the posting of proper housing information notices in English and Spanish. The building has demonstrated reasonable pest control management, with no bedbug infestations reported in any of the five annual filings from 2020 through 2025.

However, rodent inspections have yielded mixed results recently, with the most recent inspection in June 2025 resulting in a failure for "Other Reasons." Earlier inspections between 2020 and 2024 showed generally passing results, with a notable failure in June 2023. The property has had consistent housing maintenance code violation follow-ups, with multiple issues remaining open as of 2025. The building's heating system appears to require ongoing attention based on the frequency of complaints, and while some violations have been addressed, several remain open as of the latest inspection data.
