2546 Bailey Avenue, Bronx, NY 10463

The two-family house at 2546 Bailey Avenue in Kingsbridge, built in 1901 and currently owned by Emanuel Kaliontzakis, has faced several maintenance challenges in recent years, with the most significant issues occurring in September 2023. During this period, multiple emergency complaints were filed and subsequently inspected by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD), revealing violations related to water leaks (both heavy flow and slow leaks), flooring/stairs problems, and unsanitary conditions including mold and pest infestations. The building received several Housing Maintenance Code violations as a result, particularly affecting the second apartment (Apartment 2), with concerns including mold (approximately 50 square feet in bathroom and 8 square feet in closet), broken windows, defective floorboards, peeling paint, and an illegal locking device on the entrance door.

These violations were officially closed, with some classified as "A" or "B" under the Housing Maintenance Code. The property has undergone various inspections and service requests between 2016 and 2025, with water-related issues being particularly notable. Most recently, in early 2024, the building passed rodent inspections conducted in April, and there have been no reported bedbug infestations in the 2023-2024 period, suggesting some improvement in pest management.

The building's history shows a pattern of water-related issues, with multiple leaks reported in September 2023 alone. The property was built as a two-family dwelling, consisting of two stories, and remains classified as such under current building records. While there have been significant maintenance issues, particularly in 2023-2024, the closure of various violations indicates active management of these concerns by the property owner or management team.
