2427 Prospect Avenue, Bronx, NY 10458

The property at 2427 Prospect Avenue in Belmont is a 2-story, 2-unit building constructed in 1910, currently owned by Yeruchem Israel. The building has experienced several recurring maintenance issues over the past few years, with the most significant concerns being related to pest infestations, heating systems, and utility services. Most recently, in early 2025, there was an unsanitary condition involving pests that resulted in violations being issued, following a pattern of pest-related problems including rodent infestations in 2023.

The building has had multiple heating and hot water service complaints, particularly notable in 2022 when violations were issued during inspections, though some units reported restoration of service. The property has also faced various maintenance challenges including cooking gas issues, water supply problems, and appliance concerns, with several instances of inspectors being unable to gain access for verification. The building's violation history indicates ongoing challenges with basic safety systems, particularly in 2022 when violations were noted regarding missing smoke detectors and carbon monoxide detectors in the first-floor apartment, along with issues related to window sashes and exposed wiring.

While the building has shown some improvement, as evidenced by passing recent rodent inspections and the filing of bedbug reports showing no infestations in 2022-2025, the pattern of complaints suggests continuing maintenance challenges. The property had two notable compliance inspections in 2024 that found rat activity, though more recent inspections have shown passed results, indicating some progress in pest control efforts. The building's history also includes a 2020 complaint regarding certificate of occupancy issues, though this was referred to the NYPD and was not resolved through regular channels.
