2115 Mohegan Avenue, Bronx, NY 10460

The 25-unit residential building at 2115 Mohegan Avenue in West Farms, owned by Lin Bishop, is a 5-story single room occupancy structure built in 1916. The property has experienced significant maintenance challenges in recent months, particularly between March and July 2025, with multiple complaints and violations related to water leaks (including three heavy flow incidents and two slow leaks), plumbing issues, ceiling problems, and door maintenance. The Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) conducted inspections of these complaints, issuing violations for some but noting no violations for others.

A concerning pattern emerged in April 2025, when violations were issued for both ceiling plaster/paint issues and water leaks. The building's maintenance history reveals persistent problems with Apartment 4D, which was inspected in December 2024 and found to have multiple open violations, including bug infestation (cockroaches), plumbing issues, water supply problems, and various repair needs such as broken door, tank cover, and floor tiles. The property has a documented history of rodent activity, with inspections showing evidence of rats in 2023 and 2025, despite some earlier inspections passing.

While bedbug incidents were reported in 2023-2024, the most recent report in December 2024 showed no affected units. The building's heating system has also been a source of complaints, with a heat/hot water issue reported for the entire building in April 2025, though no violations were found upon inspection. Despite these various issues, some complaints have been resolved without violations, and there have been no recent reports of bedbug or significant pest problems since late 2024.
