2122 Chatterton Avenue, Bronx, NY 10472

2122 Chatterton Avenue is a 2-story, 4-unit New Law Tenement building located in Unionport, built in 1927 and currently owned by Deonauth Singh. The building has experienced recurring heating and plumbing issues over the past several years, with multiple Heat/Hot Water complaints documented through 2019-2023, including a notable emergency complaint in January 2022. In late 2021, several simultaneous issues were reported and inspected, including problems with flooring, plumbing (sink), mold, pests, and a water leak with heavy flow, for which violations were issued.

The first-floor apartment (1F) received multiple violations in early 2022, including concerns about lead paint, water leaks, and various plaster and paint defects, though most of these violations were subsequently certified as corrected. The building has demonstrated problematic rodent issues in the past, with inspections between 2018-2022 showing multiple instances of rat activity, though recent inspections in 2020 and 2022 passed. Environmental Control Board violations from 2018 indicate failures to comply with previous orders related to basement work without proper permits, resulting in penalties totaling $15,000, though these were resolved by 2019. The most recent building history shows a September 2023 flooring complaint that was inspected by HPD with no violations found.

Importantly, the building's bedbug report for 2024 shows no infestations or eradications, maintaining a clean record since 2019. The building has passed recent rodent inspections, suggesting some improvement in pest management. While many historical issues appear to have been addressed, the recurrence of heating problems and the significant number of past violations related to various building systems indicate ongoing maintenance challenges. The property has been regular in its compliance with bedbug reporting requirements, consistently showing zero infested units since 2020.
