2200 Aqueduct Avenue East, Bronx, NY 10453

The six-story, 56-unit building at 2200 Aqueduct Avenue East in University Heights, constructed in 1924 and currently owned by Charles Rosenasser, has experienced several significant maintenance and health issues over the past few years, particularly concerning pest control and water management. Most recently, in September 2023, there was a reported heavy water leak that remained unresolved as of mid-October.

The building has faced persistent rodent problems, with multiple inspections and complaints documented between 2021 and 2023, showing recurring rat activity despite the application of bait in September 2023. The Department of Health and Mental Hygiene (DOHMH) has conducted several inspections during this period, with violations noted in multiple instances and follow-up inspections required. The building's maintenance record shows some ongoing efforts to address these issues, with several permits issued between 2021 and 2023 for plumbing (PL) and electrical/wiring (EW) work, though the specific nature of these permits is not detailed in the available data.

Previous complaints from 2018 regarding indoor air quality were also documented, though there are no subsequent records showing the outcome of this complaint. The frequency of rodent-related issues, with multiple complaints and inspections resulting in the identification of rat activity throughout 2022 and into 2023, suggests ongoing challenges with maintaining basic health standards. The building's 311 service request history indicates these problems have been persistent, with the most recent water-related issue adding to the list of maintenance concerns affecting resident quality of life.
