2170 Story Avenue, Bronx, NY 10473

The 2-family house at 2170 Story Avenue, owned by Marcos Mayol, is a two-story brick building constructed in 1925 in the Unionport neighborhood of the Bronx. The building's most significant issues appear to have occurred in late 2019, when there was a series of maintenance problems in the first-floor apartment, including multiple complaints about heating and hot water, electrical issues with lighting, and water leaks.

A comprehensive inspection on October 28, 2019, revealed several open violations in the first-floor apartment, including mold, electrical problems, plumbing issues, and pest infestation, though some violations from earlier inspections were closed. Specifically, there were violations related to broken electrical outlets and switches, an infestation of roaches, missing carbon monoxide detectors, various plumbing issues including problems with sink drains and a bathtub/shower, deteriorated paint/plaster conditions, and maintenance issues with kitchen fixtures. The building had documented heating system problems in November 2019 and May 2020, when tenants reported lack of heat or hot water, though these issues were reportedly resolved relatively quickly according to HPD records.

A rodent inspection conducted in October 2010 passed, indicating no significant rodent issues at that time. While many of the maintenance issues appear to have been addressed in subsequent months, as of October 2023, several violations from the October 2019 inspection remain open, though the specific nature of these violations is not currently available. The building's documented history suggests periodic challenges with basic utilities and maintenance, particularly in 2019, though there are no more recent service requests or complaints on record through October 2023.
