2065 Haviland Avenue, Bronx, NY 10472

The 4-story, 47-unit tenement building at 2065 Haviland Avenue in Unionport, constructed in 1929, has experienced several concerning issues over the past year that warrant attention. Most recently, in June 2025, there were reports of mold and refrigerator problems, though inspections either found no violations or were unable to complete the inspection. In May 2025, violations were issued for a water leak with heavy flow and a broken/missing window guard, both of which require the owner to make necessary corrections within specified timeframes.

Additional complaints from 2025 indicate problems with flooring, safety issues, and unsanitary conditions. More troubling is the building's historical pattern of violations and complaints, particularly in Apartment C, where multiple violations from 2024 remain open, including issues with wood floors, ceramic tiles, a cracked wash basin, and an electrical outlet. The property has also faced recurring problems with pests, including a 2022 violation for roach infestation and multiple rodent inspection failures between 2011-2016.

The building's maintenance history shows three active DOB violations related to pressure inspections from 2018-2020, and there have been two recent illegal conversion complaints in 2024-2025. The property has maintained a generally good bedbug inspection record over the past five years, with only one reported case in 2019. While some maintenance issues have been resolved, such as those documented in 2022-2023, the persistence of open violations and recurring complaints suggests ongoing maintenance challenges. The Department of Buildings inspections from 2022-2024 have documented various violations requiring correction, including plumbing, electrical, and general maintenance issues, while multiple 311 complaints throughout 2025 indicate continuing concerns with building systems and resident safety.
