2112 Newbold Avenue, Bronx, NY 10462

The four-story, 16-unit residential building at 2112 Newbold Avenue in Unionport, owned by Nathaniel Powell, has experienced several maintenance issues over recent years, with the most pressing concerns focusing on heat and hot water systems. The building faced three notable heating-related complaints: a partial system failure in October 2022 that couldn't be verified due to lack of access, a November 2021 incident affecting the entire building which was promptly resolved, and an electrical lighting issue in January 2019 that required emergency intervention.

The property currently has active violations related to the failure to file annual bedbug reports for four consecutive years from 2021 to 2024, and exhibits multiple outstanding departmental violations regarding external low-pressure inspections, with the most recent issued in September 2024. Historical records show two significant construction-related violations from 2018 regarding temporary construction equipment and insufficient sidewalk shed parapet signage, though these appeared to be related to external contractors rather than building management.

The building's maintenance history includes periodic rodent inspections between 2010 and 2013, all of which passed. While the property has experienced recurring issues with heating systems and compliance with various inspection requirements, particularly concerning bedbug reporting and low-pressure inspection filings, there have been no reported violations directly impacting habitability or safety since the significant heating issues in 2021. The closure status of various Department of Housing Preservation and Development complaints suggests that while many issues were investigated, access for inspection was often a barrier to resolution verification, particularly for the 2022 complaints.
