401 Bronx River Avenue, Bronx, NY 10473

401 Bronx River Avenue, an 8-story, 120-unit residential building constructed in 2014 and currently managed by Andrew Kleiman, has experienced recurring maintenance issues, particularly regarding its heating and elevator systems. Most recently, there have been multiple heat and hot water complaints in 2025, with the latest incidents reported as emergencies in June 2025, though these were subsequently closed with no violations found during inspections. The building's elevator systems have been a significant ongoing concern, with multiple complaints filed through 2024-2025 regarding defective/inoperative conditions, including an active complaint from May 2025 about multiple devices on the property, though past complaints typically resulted in "No Violation Warranted" findings.

Additionally, the building has faced challenges with pest issues, including a current open violation from December 2024 regarding a roach infestation in Apartment 108, and past infestations documented through its Bedbug Reporting history. The property has also accumulated various housing maintenance code violations, including issues with smoke detectors, carbon monoxide detectors, and heating systems in multiple apartments, particularly Apartment 108 and Apartment 215 as of late 2024. Structural and safety concerns have been documented, including problems with stairway fire doors on the 8th floor.

The building's infrastructure issues extend beyond heating and elevators, with plumbing problems reported through multiple 311 complaints and housing maintenance code violations. It's worth noting that while the building has experienced these consistent maintenance challenges, many of the complaints have been closed following inspections or corrections, suggesting some level of responsive management. Recent inspections have indicated at least partial compliance with rodent control requirements, with one failed compliance inspection in April 2023 being addressed by June 2023. The building's management has been subject to multiple Environmental Control Board violations regarding elevator maintenance requirements, with substantial penalties imposed for various safety and maintenance concerns that remain in active status as of 2025.
