2131 Mapes Avenue, Bronx, NY 10460

2131 Mapes Avenue, a 7-story, 23-unit modern apartment building constructed in 2016, has experienced several significant maintenance issues over the past two years, particularly in 2024. The building has faced recurring heat and hot water supply problems, with multiple complaints recorded in March 2024 affecting both individual apartments and the entire building. More recently, in April 2024, there were emergency complaints regarding water leaks, mold, and ceiling issues, though no violations were issued following HPD inspections of these conditions.

Additional concerns have included electrical issues, with power outages documented in January 2024, and unsanitary conditions involving pest infestations and garbage storage problems during early 2024. The building's elevator systems have been a recurring focus of complaints, with multiple reports between 2018 and 2024 regarding single device operation and lack of alternate service. Three active violations from 2024 relate to failures to file required external low pressure inspections from 2019 to 2023, representing potentially ongoing safety concerns.

Notably, there was one confirmed infestation issue in Apartment 6A as of December 2024, though the apartment has since passed inspections. The building's common areas have required attention, with various maintenance issues documented through housing maintenance code violations, including problems with fire safety systems, compactor closet maintenance, and lighting requirements. Recent rodent inspections conducted in 2023-2025 have consistently passed, suggesting effective pest control measures are currently in place.
