1997 Daly Avenue, Bronx, NY 10460

The 4-story, 9-unit building at 1997 Daly Avenue in West Farms, owned by Euris Gomez, has experienced recurring heating system issues over the past 15 months, with multiple emergency complaints about heat and hot water problems in both the entire building and individual apartments between November 2024 and February 2025. These complaints typically received prompt attention from the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD), with inspectors confirming restoration of services, though the pattern of complaints suggests an ongoing systemic issue.

The building has also faced significant maintenance challenges, particularly in late 2024, with multiple complaints about water leaks, plumbing issues, and various other maintenance concerns including broken window guards and wall conditions. Three Class B violations were issued in November 2024 specifically for Apartment 4, relating to a broken sink waste line, defective window lock, and missing escutcheon plate at a heat riser pipe, though these have since been certified as corrected. The building's history includes a notable pattern of rodent activity in 2016-2017, with several inspections showing rat activity and bait application, though a compliance inspection in January 2025 passed, suggesting recent improvement in pest control.

Additionally, there is an active Environmental Control Board violation from 2018 regarding improper storage in the boiler room, with a $2,500 penalty. The property maintains a clean bedbug record, with no reported infestations in the past seven years according to annual filings. While the building has had numerous maintenance and safety issues requiring attention, many of these have been addressed through the violation process, though the recurring heat/hot water problems suggest some infrastructure challenges remain.
