2357 Prospect Avenue, Bronx, NY 10458

2357 Prospect Avenue is a 61-unit, 6-story New Law Tenement building constructed in 1926, currently managed by Howard Alkoff. The building has experienced recurrent heating system challenges, particularly evident in 2024, where there were multiple emergency heat/hot water complaints between January 3 and January 26, affecting either the entire building or individual apartments, with some requiring HPD intervention to verify corrections.

A notable safety incident occurred in November 2023 when water temperature exceeded 130 degrees in Apartment D, though this violation was subsequently certified as corrected by the end of November. The building has a history of various maintenance issues, particularly in 2019 when multiple violations were recorded for Apartment 4G, including water leaks, mold, pest infestations, and deficiencies in safety equipment (smoke detectors and carbon monoxide detectors). The property has faced several documentation compliance challenges, receiving multiple DOB violations for failure to file required inspections and reports between 2018 and 2024, though most were dismissed upon confirmation of compliance.

Recent inspections show improved conditions, with the most recent rodent inspection in March 2025 passing successfully. The building's bedbug reporting shows minimal issues, with only one reported case in 2022-2023, and none in the most recent reports. While the property has had various maintenance concerns over the years, recent inspections and rodent control results suggest improved upkeep, though the recurring heating system problems indicate an ongoing infrastructure challenge.
