2149 Bruckner Boulevard, Bronx, NY 10472

The 4-unit, 2-story residential building at 2149 Bruckner Boulevard in Unionport, owned by Silverio Mocha and constructed in 1927, has experienced several concerning issues in recent years. Most notably, there have been recurring problems with heating and electrical systems in 2025, including multiple complaints about heat/hot water issues and a power outage, though inspections were often unable to gain access to verify these conditions. The building is currently facing three open Housing Maintenance Code violations from September 2024, including issues with carbon monoxide detectors in Apartment 2B, window safety in Apartment 1B, and door functionality in Apartments 1A and 2B.

There are also persistent concerns about pest control, with active violations related to bedbug reporting requirements dating back to 2021. The property has a documented history of rodent issues, with multiple inspections showing rat activity between 2016 and 2022, though a compliance inspection in May 2022 reported passing results. Recent building safety concerns were noted in August 2023, including the need for smoke and carbon monoxide detectors, though these violations were subsequently closed by October 2023.

The building's exterior shows some structural issues, with an active ECB violation from June 2023 citing cracks in masonry walls and mortar joints, with an imposed penalty of $1,250. Recent Department of Buildings complaints from 2025 regarding illegal conversions and drainage issues are also pending investigation. The property has experienced various maintenance and safety issues over the years, including sticker violations for smoke and CO detector issues, though many past complaints have been resolved.
