2343 Prospect Avenue, Bronx, NY 10458

2343 Prospect Avenue is a 5-story, 48-unit residential building constructed in 1925, currently owned by 2343 Inc. The property has experienced recurring maintenance issues, particularly with heating systems, as evidenced by heat complaints in both 2024 and 2023, along with multiple heating-related complaints in 2021 and 2024. The building has faced various water-related issues, including leaks reported in 2023 and 2021, and multiple interior maintenance complaints such as mold, water damage, and plaster problems.

A significant concern was documented in early 2024 when the building received multiple Housing Maintenance Code violations related to access control and window conditions. The property basement underwent unauthorized alterations, with active Environmental Control Board violations from 2023 reporting conversion from three to four basement apartments, including installation of additional bathrooms and residential facilities without proper permits. Security and access control appeared to be ongoing issues, with multiple complaints about defective doors and windows. While the building has shown progress in pest control, with no bedbug reports in the past two years, it has had challenges with rodent activity, as evidenced by multiple inspections in 2025 showing rat activity and bait application.

The building also has three active violations regarding failure to display energy efficiency scores and grades as required by city regulations. The property has maintained reasonable transparency through required filings, though there were several instances of inspector access issues, particularly regarding complaints about illegal hotel room usage in 2022. The building's maintenance history shows a pattern of responsive but recurring issues, with violations generally being addressed but often recurring within a short timeframe. Most recent complaints have been resolved, including various interior issues documented in late 2023 through early 2024, though some structural and regulatory compliance issues remain active as of 2025.
