2240 Quimby Avenue, Bronx, NY 10473

The two-family house at 2240 Quimby Avenue in Unionport, owned by Humberto Kibel, has experienced several significant maintenance issues over the past few years. Most recently, in May 2023, there was an incident involving loss of heat and hot water that required intervention from the Department of Housing Preservation and Development, though these services were reported to have been restored.

Earlier in 2023, the building faced multiple emergency maintenance issues in March including problems with heat, plumbing (specifically radiators), electrical wiring, and deal with unsanitary pest conditions in the second-floor apartment. This apartment also received two Housing Maintenance Code violations in March 2023, one for mouse infestation and another for defective plastered surfaces and paint issues. The building's maintenance history shows a pattern of recurring issues, particularly with heating and plumbing systems, as evidenced by multiple radiator-related complaints in both 2022 and 2023.

The property has also faced challenges with basic maintenance and safety requirements, including a 2022 violation regarding missing handrails at rear yard steps. Rodent inspections conducted between 2010 and 2012 showed irregularities, with initial inspections failing for unspecified reasons but subsequent compliance inspections passing. The building's record appears to show some improvements, as evidenced by the absence of bedbug infestation reports in recent years, with the most recent filing period (2020-2021) showing no units affected.
