2117 Clinton Avenue, Bronx, NY 10457

The 3-unit, 3-story building at 2117 Clinton Avenue in Belmont, owned by Esther Twerski, has experienced persistent maintenance issues throughout 2024-2025. Most notably, there have been multiple heat and hot water complaints in 2025, with both building-wide and apartment-specific issues, some of which resulted in violations being issued. The building has also faced recurring problems with unsanitary conditions, including mold (April 2025), and multiple plumbing-related complaints including issues with basins, sinks, and water leaks.

A particularly concerning sequence of violations emerged in mid-2024 from Apartment 2, involving water leaks, rodent infestations (mice and roaches), and damaged plaster/paint in kitchen and bathroom ceilings, despite some violations having been marked as closed. The building's exterior environment has also required attention, with several violations documented regarding debris, stagnant water, and garbage management in yard areas. Beneath the surface, the building's maintenance record reveals a pattern of access issues during inspections, as evidenced by multiple instances where Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) was unable to gain entry to inspect reported problems.

The property has also undergone periodic rodent control measures, with inspections in 2024-2025 frequently showing rat activity, though recent inspections from late 2023 passed. The building's age (1925 construction) and history as a "HERETOFORE CONVERTED CLASS A" structure suggest it may have undergone conversions from a prior configuration, which could contribute to some of the ongoing maintenance challenges. While bedbug reports have been consistently listed as zero infestation counts since 2020, the persistent nature of other maintenance issues warrants attention.
