229 West Kingsbridge Road, Bronx, NY 10463

This newly constructed 8-story, 37-unit residential building at 229 West Kingsbridge Road, owned by Paulin Durgaj, was completed in 2023 but has experienced significant maintenance issues in its first two years of operation. The most critical ongoing concern involves recurring indoor air quality problems, with eight complaints between April and June 2025 related to chemical vapors, gases, and odors.

The building has also faced repeated heat and hot water system challenges, with multiple emergency complaints recorded through 2024-2025. Significant maintenance issues documented include problems with plumbing (toilet issues in April 2025), and emergency complaints regarding window and ceiling conditions in June 2025. Prior to its completion, the building underwent several construction phases with multiple regulatory interventions.

In 2023, there were incidents requiring construction safety compliance actions, including a fully rescinded stop work order, and concerns about site conditions endangering workers were noted in both February and September 2023. During construction, there were also complaints regarding excavation work and concerns about undermining adjacent buildings, though these were eventually resolved. The building's history indicates a pattern of maintenance challenges, particularly regarding essential services like heat and hot water, which have persisted from before occupancy through the present date.
