2290 Andrews Avenue North, Bronx, NY 10468

2290 Andrews Avenue North is a 5-story, 28-unit residential building constructed in 1931 and currently owned by Israel Cohen. The building has experienced recurring heat and hot water issues, with multiple emergency complaints in 2024-2025 affecting both individual apartments and the entire building. Recent service requests in 2025 include appliance issues and heating problems, both of which were reportedly addressed. The property has faced significant maintenance challenges, particularly during late 2024, when multiple complaints were filed regarding water leaks, mold, and unsanitary conditions, though inspectors were unable to access the affected areas.

Violations were issued in October 2024 for issues related to paint/plaster, door/window frames, and flooring/stairs. The apartment 3A has documented violations from November 2024 that were certified as corrected by February 2025, including problems with electrical fixtures, wall paint, cabinet repairs, and plumbing issues. Historical data from the Department of Buildings shows concerns with boiler operation (2021), gas utility access (2019), and a brief period of building shaking concerns (2023), though some complaints were marked as "Inspector Unable To Gain Access." The building has maintained a clean record for bedbugs, with zero infestations reported in the past five filing periods (2020-2025). Recent rodent inspections show mixed results, with multiple "Rat Activity" findings between 2023-2024, though the most recent inspections in 2025 passed.

The property has active Department of Buildings violations related to energy efficiency score display requirements from 2020-2021. An ECB violation from 2021 resulted in a $310 penalty related to steam pressure gauge and water pipe thermometer issues, though this appears to have been resolved. The building experienced multiple maintenance issues throughout 2024-2025, affecting various systems and requiring tenant reports to HPD, with most issues being categorized as emergencies. The record shows consistent efforts by the property owner to address violations, as evidenced by multiple certification dates in 2024-2025, though some problems, particularly with heating systems, appear to persist.
