2124 Ellis Avenue, Bronx, NY 10462

2124 Ellis Avenue is a 5-story, 47-unit New Law Tenement building located in Unionport, built in 1927 and currently owned by Juan Gonzalez. The property has experienced several recurring maintenance issues in recent years, with the most significant concerns occurring between 2024-2025. The building has faced multiple heat and hot water system failures affecting the entire building, including incidents in January, March, and most recently in May 2025.

There have also been persistent issues with unsanitary conditions, including mold and pest problems, with the most recent complaints logged in June 2025. Structural concerns have emerged as a significant issue in 2025, with complaints about building shaking and vibration, and an active violation regarding deteriorating window lintels and parapets that was documented in May 2025, requiring an engineer's report. The building's maintenance history shows a pattern of unresolved violations and recurring issues, particularly in common areas.

In 2024, multiple Housing Maintenance Code violations were cited, including inadequate lighting in public hallways and various needed repairs to fire-retardant materials. The building's mechanical systems have also faced scrutiny, with complaints in 2023 about boiler functionality and gas piping safety. While the property has maintained an active bedbug and rodent control program with recent inspections showing no current infestations (with the last reported case being from 2019), the overall maintenance record suggests ongoing challenges with building systems and infrastructure. The property has regularly submitted its bedbug reports showing no current infestations since 2019, and passed rodent inspections in 2020 and 2017, though it failed for other reasons in 2017 and 2016.
