2137 Bruckner Boulevard, Bronx, NY 10472

2137 Bruckner Boulevard is a 2-story, 4-unit New Law Tenement building constructed in 1929 and currently owned by Israel Frankel. The property has experienced several maintenance and sanitation issues over the past five years, with the most recent concerns centering around appliance maintenance, specifically a refrigerator issue reported in September 2023, which was promptly addressed and closed by HPD. The building has a documented history of pest-related problems, with two separate complaints about unsanitary conditions due to pests in 2020 and 2021, though no violations were issued following HPD inspections.

More significant maintenance issues were documented in 2017 when multiple violations were recorded for Unit 1F, including inadequate heat and hot water supply, electrical service problems, and improper access to the heating system. These violations were ultimately closed, along with a 2020 violation regarding a defective door lock. Recent inspection records indicate ongoing building maintenance challenges, particularly with rodent control, as evidenced by multiple rat activity reports and bait application records between 2021 and 2022.

However, the building's Bedbug Reporting records from 2020 through 2024 show consistent compliance with reporting requirements, with no reported infestations or eradications during this period. The property has also maintained proper closure of recent complaints, including the September 2023 refrigerator issue, which was resolved through HPD intervention. While there have been various maintenance concerns documented in the past five years, the absence of recent bedbug infestations and the closure of recent complaints suggest some degree of improved responsiveness to maintenance issues, though the historical pattern of pest-related complaints and rodent activity indicates ongoing attention to building maintenance requirements may be necessary.
