2781 Claflin Avenue, Bronx, NY 10468

The 8-unit, 2-story residential building at 2781 Claflin Avenue in Kingsbridge, constructed in 1940 and currently owned by 2781 Claflin Ave LLC, has experienced significant maintenance issues in recent years. Most notably, from January 2025 to May 2025, there were multiple complaints regarding water leaks (both slow and damp spots), ceiling issues, mold, lighting problems, and other maintenance concerns, though inspections by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) determined that none of these complaints violated housing laws.

In 2024, there were urgent concerns about heat and hot water availability, and three separate door/window-related violations were issued in July 2024 concerning door and window frames, which were followed by repairs being certified. The building has a documented history of pest issues, particularly in Apartment 1A, with violations in 2023 and 2024 noting both mouse and roach infestations, though the most recent bedbug reports from 2022-2024 indicated no infestations during those periods.

The property has undergone multiple rodent inspections, with the most recent in April 2025 passing successfully, though there were previous concerns in 2021 and 2023 noting rat activity. Several housing maintenance code violations were recorded between 2023-2024, including problems with window mechanisms, door locks, bathroom tiles, and concrete flashing, all of which were subsequently addressed and closed. The building has maintained compliance with regular rodent inspections and has not reported any bedbug infestations in the past three years, suggesting some improvements in pest management.
