2834 Heath Avenue, Bronx, NY 10463

The 2834 Heath Avenue building, a 6-story, 65-unit New Law Tenement constructed in 1927, has experienced several recurring maintenance issues, particularly in the past year. Most notably, there have been multiple instances of problems with heat and hot water systems, with complaints documented in January, December 2024, and November 2024, all requiring emergency responses. Recent complaints in May 2025 have resulted in violations related to wall conditions, while other recent issues include mold (April 2025) and various door/window problems. The building has maintained a consistent pattern of rodent inspections, with recent passes in May 2025 and April 2024, though previous inspections in 2022 and 2021 had failed for rat activity.

Apartment 5E has documented multiple violations from late 2024, including mouse infestation, maintenance issues with windows and doors, and required painting work. A concerning incident occurred in 2020 when a window was reported to have fallen from the 5th floor, leading to a failure to safeguard violation. The building's maintenance history shows some improvements, with several violations being certified as corrected, particularly those related to window and door repairs. However, there remain open violations from 2024 regarding insect infestations in apartments 5E and 3D.

The property has undergone regular inspections and corrections as per Housing Maintenance Code requirements, though emergency conditions have persisted. The elevator system has been a subject of complaints, as reflected in a 2021 complaint. Bedbug reports since 2021 indicate no verified infestations, suggesting effective pest management, while recent maintenance issues primarily focus on heat/hot water systems and general building upkeep. The building has undergone various repairs and improvements over the years, as evidenced by permitted work, including those issued in 2018 and 2020, though specific details of these works were not provided in the data.
