2968 Perry Avenue, Bronx, NY 10458

The 6-story, 31-unit building at 2968 Perry Avenue in Norwood, owned by Bashkim Rraci and constructed in 1931, has experienced ongoing maintenance challenges, particularly related to heating systems. Between February and April 2025, there were multiple heat and hot water complaints affecting both individual apartments and the entire building, with several violations issued and an active ECB violation regarding boiler issues from May 2020. The building also experienced window and flooring issues in April 2025 that resulted in violations.

A significant cluster of violations emerged in 2022, centered around unit 5E, including problems with mice infestation, hot water supply, and missing window guards, though these violations appear to be related to previous conditions that had been addressed. The building's elevator has been a recurring concern, with multiple complaints between 2020-2022 regarding single device service and maintenance issues. More recent concerns include active ECB violations from October 2024 for construction debris and ongoing renovation work, though there are conflicting records as one of these violations has a penalty of $3,125 while another for renovation work has a different status.

The property has maintained compliance with bedbug reporting requirements, showing zero infested units in recent filings from 2019 through 2025. Rodent inspections have shown varying results, with the most recent 2024 inspections passing compliance standards, though there have been previous instances of rat activity noted between 2018-2023. The building has experienced issues with heating system access, as noted in violations dating back to 2020, and there have been multiple complaints regarding unauthorized or unpermitted work, particularly related to occupancy concerns, though these appear to have been resolved based on subsequent inspections.
