2746 Decatur Avenue, Bronx, NY 10458

The 16-unit, 5-story building at 2746 Decatur Avenue, built in 1914 and currently owned by George Domgjoni, has experienced persistent heat and hot water issues throughout 2025, with multiple complaints filed by tenants between January and April 2025, including eight specific complaints in March 2025 alone. While some of these complaints were resolved relatively quickly, with HPD confirming restoration of services during inspections, the pattern of repeated complaints suggests ongoing concerns with building utilities. The building has returned zero bedbug cases in its most recent reports (2023-2024), with 15 units undergoing eradication procedures, reflecting effective management of this particular issue.

Inspection records from 2024-2025 show significant maintenance concerns, including a B-class mold violation in Apartment C1, as well as various maintenance issues such as broken window hardware, bathroom mold, and plumbing problems. There are also indications of pest management challenges, with open rodent violations reported in July 2024 for Apartment C3, and historical rodent inspection results showing a mix of passed and failed inspections between 2021 and 2024. The building's history includes some structural and safety concerns, such as a July 2023 complaint regarding egress issues that resulted in inspection attempts where access could not be gained.

While the building passed its most recent rodent inspection in August 2024, the pattern of emergency heat and hot water complaints in 2025 coupled with various maintenance violations suggests ongoing challenges with building systems and maintenance response times. The property has maintained generally good compliance with bedbug eradication efforts, as evidenced by zero reported cases in recent periods and successful removal of most infested units, though historical data shows some previous issues. The building's age and history as a "New Law Tenement" contribute to its complex maintenance history, with various code violations and complaint patterns requiring regular attention from both management and housing authorities.
