2840 Bailey Avenue, Bronx, NY 10463

2840 Bailey Avenue is a 6-story, 87-unit residential building constructed in 1926, currently owned by Besnik Celaj. The property has recently experienced significant heating system challenges, with multiple emergency heat/hot water complaints in early 2025, particularly notable between February and March 2025, including violations for inadequate heat/hot water service.

The building has also had recurring issues with interior maintenance, as evidenced by multiple paint/plaster complaints in 2025. The building underwent a Department of Buildings inspection in July 2024, revealing several noteworthy violations in apartment D63, including issues with windows (broken glass panes and defective spring balances), kitchen ceiling problems, and an infestation of mice that required remediation. Additionally, there are vertical masonry step cracks reported on the building's north elevation and missing masonry decorative elements at the fifth floor level.

The property has maintained an active rodent control program, particularly evident through multiple bait application inspections between 2020-2022, though recent bedbug reports show no infestations in the past four reporting periods. Two illegal conversion complaints have been filed against the property, one in 2024 that was closed due to inspector access issues, and another related to failure to maintain building standards in early 2024. The building's owners were also cited for failing to properly display energy efficiency ratings in 2021 and for not submitting required energy reports in 2020, though the latter violation was dismissed in 2023.
