2130 Quimby Avenue, Bronx, NY 10473

2130 Quimby Avenue is a 3-unit, 3-story residential building constructed in 1899 and currently owned by Ratna Paspattie. The property has experienced several significant maintenance and safety issues, most notably in recent months. As of December 2024, the building has eight open housing maintenance code violations, primarily affecting the third-floor apartment (3FL), including a carbon monoxide detector issue, smoke detector concerns, a roach infestation, and multiple door-related problems (including fire escape and public hall doors).

There are additional compliance issues related to safety notices, including missing postings regarding smoke detector and carbon monoxide detector requirements. The building's recent history includes a heating/hot water complaint in December 2024 that was investigated but found not to violate HPD housing laws. Earlier incidents include a complaint about work without a permit in February 2024, which resulted in a violation related to two unauthorized garages in the back of the property.

In October 2019, there was an investigation into an alleged illegal conversion of the property, though inspectors were unable to gain access during their final attempt. Historical records show the building passed a rodent inspection in 2010 and has had some permitted work done, with a permit issued in April 2022 for unspecified work. The current multiple open violations, particularly those affecting safety systems (smoke and carbon monoxide detectors) and ongoing pest issues, suggest significant maintenance challenges at this property.
