2435 Prospect Avenue, Bronx, NY 10458

The six-story New Law Tenement building at 2435 Prospect Avenue in Belmont, owned by Lum Pelinkovic, has experienced several recurring issues in recent years, most notably related to heat and hot water systems. Between February 2025 and April 2025 alone, there were six documented complaints regarding heat/hot water problems affecting the entire building, with HPD able to confirm resolution only in some cases.

Currently, as of June 2025, there is an open complaint regarding a carbon monoxide detector issue that remains unresolved despite HPD's attempts to notify the property owner. The building has also faced structural and safety concerns, including a defective fire escape tread reported in October 2024, problems with self-closing doors and smoke detector functionality in Apartment 3A, and multiple violations regarding self-closing doors in public areas throughout 2024. An electrical wiring incident in 2022 resulted in a penalty for using unapproved electrical equipment, though this was later resolved.

The building's maintenance history shows some recent improvements, with successful rodent inspection passes in 2024, though there was one failed inspection in April 2024. Importantly, the building has maintained a bedbug-free status, with no reported infestations in the past five reporting periods from 2019 to 2024. While recent heat and safety issues are concerning, particularly the open carbon monoxide detector complaint as of June 2025, it's worth noting that many previous violations have been addressed and closed, including various fire safety and security issues.
