2144 Prospect Avenue, Bronx, NY 10457
2144 Prospect Avenue is a 5-story, 30-unit New Law tenement building constructed in 1931 and currently owned by Jack Ndreu. The building has experienced significant structural concerns, most notably with its parapet walls, which have been the subject of multiple violations and emergency work orders. In 2025, the front wall parapet partially collapsed, showing evidence of being loose, bulged inward, and unstable, with serious implications for safety. These conditions were previously documented in 2024, with active ECB violations totaling $62,780 in penalties related to building maintenance failures.
Recent health and maintenance issues have also emerged, particularly in mid-2025, including mold problems, plumbing concerns, and rodent activity. Multiple 311 complaints were logged in May 2025 regarding various maintenance issues such as flooring, plumbing, and wall conditions, resulting in HPD violations that required correction. The building is currently under scrutiny for lead dust concerns in common areas as of April 2025. Historical records show recurring rodent activity, with rat sightings documented repeatedly between 2023-2025, though recent inspections in 2024 and 2025 showed some periods of compliance.
While there have been three documented bedbug infestations between 2019-2023, the most recent reporting from December 2023 indicated zero infested units. The building's maintenance record reveals ongoing challenges with basic infrastructure, including plumbing issues (notably involving sinks and radiators), water leaks, and electrical problems. There are multiple open violations from a December 2024 inspection of apartment 5D, including defective floors, walls, ceilings, electrical outlets, and plumbing fixtures, as well as issues with mold and water leaks. The building's structural concerns have prompted several "Partial Vacate Orders" and placed it under "Building Under Structural Monitoring" status in 2024, with the Department of Buildings issuing multiple violation orders regarding the need for urgent repairs and evaluation of structural stability.
