2129 Bruckner Boulevard, Bronx, NY 10472

The two-story, four-unit residential building at 2129 Bruckner Boulevard in Unionport, owned by Aruna Fornah, has a notable history of pest-related issues and maintenance violations since 2020. The building, constructed in 1929 and classified as a New Law Tenement, experienced significant pest problems in late 2020, with the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) issuing violations for unsanitary conditions related to pests.

These issues prompted multiple Housing Maintenance Code (HMC) violations, including ongoing failure to file annual bedbug reports from 2021 through 2024 (class A violations), and specific rodent and insect infestation violations in December 2020 (class C violations) affecting the second-floor apartment 2R, which was documented to have both roach and mice infestations. Additional safety and maintenance violations from November 2020 included concerns about self-closing doors, carbon monoxide detector requirements, housing information guide notices, and the designation of heating system access personnel, though many of these violations are administrative in nature. The building's more recent history shows some improvement, with a rodent inspection in February 2022 resulting in a passing grade, and no new pest-related complaints reported since late 2020.

However, the persistence of bedbug report violations from 2020 through 2024 remains a notable concern as of the most recent inspection records available. Prior to these issues, the building had passed rodent inspections in 2010 and 2014, suggesting that the early 2020s period represents a significant departure from its previous maintenance history. The current status of most violations remains open as of the latest inspection records available through 2024.
