2118 Mapes Avenue, Bronx, NY 10460

The 8-story, 43-unit residential building at 2118 Mapes Avenue in Belmont, owned by Egris Haxhari, has experienced several maintenance issues since its construction in 2016. Most recently, in June 2025, there were multiple plumbing-related complaints involving toilets, sinks, and bathtubs/showers, as well as issues with wall plaster and lighting, though none of these resulted in violations. The building has had recurring heat and hot water concerns, with three separate complaints in early 2025 (January, February, and May) regarding apartment-specific problems.

While these complaints were marked as emergencies, HPD was often unable to gain access for inspection purposes. The building's systems have faced challenges with water-related infrastructure, as evidenced by work required for both the heating systems and various plumbing fixtures. Historical records show compliance with mandatory bedbug reporting requirements, with no infestations reported in the past four filing periods from 2020 through 2024, and a successful rodent inspection pass in January 2025.

The building has had some administrative issues regarding energy reporting requirements, with three violations recorded between 2020 and 2024 for failing to file benchmarking reports, though these were subsequently dismissed. Two other violations related to energy efficiency score display and FISP technical report submission were also dismissed. Earlier complaints from 2022 regarding illegal hotel rooms and an adult establishment were closed without violations being found upon inspection. The property's bedbug and pest management protocol appears to be effectively maintained, with regular filings showing zero infestation counts.
