2133 Chatterton Avenue, Bronx, NY 10472

2133 Chatterton Avenue is a 2-story residential building constructed in 1927 in the Unionport neighborhood, containing 4 units and currently owned by Joel Retek. The property has experienced persistent maintenance challenges, particularly with heating and hot water systems, as evidenced by multiple emergency complaints throughout 2023-2024 affecting the entire building.

Notable recent issues include a mold complaint in February 2024 that was investigated but resulted in no violations, and an air quality concern with chemical vapors in August 2023 that prompted an advisory to the property management. There have been documented sanitary concerns, including garbage/recycling storage issues in late 2022 that resulted in violations, and a rodent infestation problem in 2022 with multiple inspections showing rat activity and bait application requirements. The building's infrastructure has required multiple repairs and maintenance interventions over recent years, including violations related to lead paint hazard control requirements in 2021 that remain open for apartments 1F, 1R, and 2R.

Various repairs have been documented, including bathroom maintenance in unit 2R (tile and door issues) and hot water system improvements. Despite these ongoing challenges, the property has not reported any bedbug infestations in the past five years, and the most recent building code violation inspections have shown some issues with refuse accumulation in building common areas. The building's maintenance history shows a pattern of unresolved systemic issues and intermittent compliance with housing codes, particularly regarding heating systems, sanitation, and pest control measures.
