2691 Reservoir Avenue, Bronx, NY 10468

2691 Reservoir Avenue is a 6-story, 62-unit residential building located in the Kingsbridge neighborhood of the Bronx, owned by Parkash 2691 LLC and constructed in 1941. The building has experienced several recurring maintenance issues, particularly regarding heating and hot water systems, which have been a significant concern in both 2024 and 2025. Spring 2025 was particularly challenging, with multiple HPD complaints filed for various issues including plumbing problems (radiators, steam pipes), electrical concerns, sanitary conditions (sewage, mold), and safety issues (broken window guards). Many of these complaints were notable for inspectors' inability to gain access to complete their evaluations.

The building's elevator system has been a recurring concern, with multiple complaints about its operation and reliability, leading to active violations and substantial fines in 2024-2025. Current outstanding violations relate to the elevator system's operation, electrical work in commercial spaces, and a 2024 inspection revealing the need for various repairs, including elevator safety features. The Department of Buildings records show an ongoing pattern of elevator-related issues resulting in multiple Environmental Control Board violations with associated penalties. Recent rodent inspections indicate past challenges with rodent activity, though the most recent inspections in 2025 showed compliance.

The building's environmental management records indicate no bedbug infestations have been reported in the past several years. Housing Maintenance Code violations and complaints from 2024-2025 reveal various maintenance issues affecting different apartments, including problems with bathroom fixtures, water systems, and building infrastructure. The building has a mixed history of emergency response and resolution to housing maintenance issues, with some problems continuing to recur despite multiple complaint filings. The comprehensive record from various agencies indicates that while some maintenance issues have been addressed, others persist, particularly relating to the elevator system and heating/hot water infrastructure. The building has maintained compliance with bedbug reporting requirements, showing no infestations in recent years, and recent rodent control inspections have indicated some improvements, though challenges remain evident in initial inspection results.
