2132 Daly Avenue, Bronx, NY 10460

2132 Daly Avenue is a 5-story, 37-unit New Law tenement building constructed in 1916 and currently owned by Antonio Rodriguez. The building has experienced recurring heat and hot water issues in recent months, with eight emergency complaints filed between late May and April 2025, all of which were subsequently resolved by HPD confirmation of restored services. More concerning is an open Class C violation from May 2024 regarding a defective fire escape ladder, which represents a potential safety hazard, and multiple elevator service lapses documented by the Department of Buildings between 2020-2025, with an active complaint from April 2025 regarding no alternate service for the building's single elevator.

The elevator system has generated significant regulatory attention, including multiple ECB violations, with fines exceeding $4,000 related to inoperability and safety compliance issues between 2020-2024, though the most recent bedbug reports from 2021-2025 indicate no infestations. The building has undergone various maintenance issues, including a January 2025 rodent inspection that passed, but a February 2023 inspection noted rat activity. Apartment 4C underwent significant repairs in 2023, addressing multiple issues including window problems, kitchen defects, and various surface repairs, which were completed by August 2023.

The building's elevator system has been a recurring source of problems, with multiple complaints and violations over the years indicating persistent service disruptions. Recent inspections and emergency complaints suggest ongoing challenges with building systems maintenance, particularly in the area of heating and hot water infrastructure. While the property has maintained a relatively clean record regarding vermin and bedbug issues in recent years, the concentration of recent complaints regarding basic services such as heat and hot water indicates potential concerns about the building's systems reliability. The open fire escape violation and recent elevator complaints warrant attention as they relate to resident safety and accessibility.
