2800 Bainbridge Avenue, Bronx, NY 10458

The five-story, 20-unit tenement at 2800 Bainbridge Avenue, built in 1914 and owned by Harry Bajraktari, has experienced several notable maintenance issues in recent years. Most recently, in January 2025, the building faced multiple violations including unsanitary conditions involving pests and mold, a heavy water leak, and ceiling paint/plaster problems. These violations were documented as both emergency and non-emergency situations, though they have since been closed.

Throughout 2023-2024, the building exhibited recurring issues with doors and windows, particularly door functionality, with multiple complaints showing the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) unable to gain access for inspections in March 2023, though some were ultimately addressed or closed without violations. The building's maintenance history reveals ongoing infrastructure challenges, particularly regarding plumbing systems, with complaints about toilets and bathtub/shower facilities documented as emergencies between 2022-2023. A significant safety concern was noted in 2024 regarding a defective self-closing door at the first story vestibule, classified as a Class C violation.

Notably, the property has maintained a clean record regarding bedbug infestations since at least 2021, with no reported cases in the most recent four filing periods (2021-2024). The building has also passed recent rodent inspections in 2024, 2023, and 2022, though there was one compliance failure noted in 2015. The most recent documented violations (2024) and emergency maintenance issues (2025) suggest ongoing challenges with building upkeep, particularly concerning water damage and pest control.
