130 Van Cortlandt Ave W, Bronx, NY 10463

The 6-story, 46-unit building at 130 Van Cortlandt Ave W in the Kingsbridge neighborhood, owned by Lisa Laubsch and built in 1966, has experienced several significant maintenance issues in recent years. Most notably, there have been recurring heat and hot water problems, with multiple emergency complaints recorded between 2023 and 2024, including both building-wide and apartment-specific issues. In 2021, the building suffered fire damage that affected the 7th floor and roof, resulting in ongoing violations related to structural integrity and safety requirements.

The building also has a concerning history of gas supply issues, with multiple violations documented in 2023 affecting several units (2D, 2E, 3G, 4G, 5G, 6E, and 7E), though these have been marked as corrected. Recent maintenance records show continued attention to various building systems, with particular focus on heat and hot water infrastructure. A façade inspection (LL11/98) notification was recorded in March 2025, indicating potential safety concerns.

While the building experienced pest issues between 2018-2020, recent bedbug reports (2021-2024) show zero infestations. The property has also undergone multiple rodent inspections, with rat activity recorded in 2018-2019 but passed inspections in 2021-2022. Current environmental control board violations from 2022 indicate failure to comply with previous orders regarding unauthorized dwelling unit conversions, though these violations have been marked as resolved. The building's owners have faced multiple regulatory challenges, including failing to file required reports for energy efficiency and façade inspections in 2024, which are currently active violations.
