2261 Loring Place North, Bronx, NY 10468

The 7-unit, 4-story building at 2261 Loring Place North in University Heights, constructed in 2012 and currently owned by 2261 Loring Place LLC, has experienced persistent heating system challenges over the past year. From September 2023 through December 2024, there were multiple complaints regarding heat and hot water issues, with several instances involving the entire building. Though many of these complaints were eventually resolved, inspections by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) were frequently unable to gain access to the units for verification.

The building's maintenance history indicates some structural and safety concerns were addressed in 2024, including repairs to entrance doors and smoke detector issues in apartments 3R and 18, as well as floor tile repairs in public hall areas. Additionally, there have been periodic rodent activity reports, with the most recent compliance inspection in 2024 showing "Rat Activity," though some earlier inspections had passed. The building has maintained a clean record regarding bedbug infestations, with all recent filings showing no affected units or eradication needed.

Recent housing maintenance code violations from mid-2024 revealed several safety-related issues that were subsequently addressed, including problems with self-closing doors in various areas, and defective smoke and carbon monoxide detectors in apartment 3R. The building's emergency response history shows attention to resolving heat and hot water issues, though the frequency of complaints suggests an ongoing challenge with the building's heating system. Previous years' records indicate generally good maintenance practices, with the 2018 complaint about egress concerns resulting in no violations being warranted at the time of inspection. The property has demonstrated compliance with bedbug regulations over multiple reporting periods from 2021-2024, showing no infestations or necessary eradication efforts.
