2408 Prospect Avenue, Bronx, NY 10458

2408 Prospect Avenue is a 4-story, 16-unit residential building located in the Belmont neighborhood, built in 2014 and currently owned by Long Lin. The property has experienced recurring maintenance issues over its lifetime, with the most recent concerns emerging in fall 2024, including rodent activity and plumbing issues in apartment 2C.

Significant maintenance patterns have included multiple heating and hot water system failures during late 2020, all of which were eventually resolved; a series of pest-related violations in 2022-2023 affecting apartments 2C and 3B; and various infrastructure problems such as cabinet issues, wall damage, and cooking gas concerns. The building has had some recent improvements, with certain violations being certified as resolved, including 2023's problems with vermin in apartment 3B, water supply issues, and maintenance of public hall ceilings. The building's maintenance history shows a concerning pattern of rodent inspections, with multiple "Rat Activity" results in 2023-2025, though some inspections have passed.

While there have been no reported bedbug infestations during the past five years (as evidenced by the bedbug reporting records), the ongoing rodent issues and periodic maintenance violations suggest continued challenges with building upkeep. The property has generally responded to violations and complaints, with most cases being resolved, though some issues have required multiple inspections before proper remediation was achieved. The apartment was built with modern specifications in 2014, and while it has encountered various maintenance issues, many have been typical for urban residential buildings of its age and class.
