2160 Newbold Avenue, Bronx, NY 10462

This 33-unit, 4-story apartment building located at 2160 Newbold Avenue in Unionport was built in 1931 and is currently owned by Arthur Gabriel. The property has experienced several significant maintenance issues in recent months, with the most pressing being ongoing mold problems, as evidenced by multiple complaints in March and June 2025, some of which led to violations being issued. There was also a notable pattern of heating and hot water problems in March 2025, affecting the entire building.

The building has documented issues with safety features, including broken window guards in March 2025, and various maintenance concerns including plumbing problems with radiators, paint/plaster issues, and electrical outlet concerns during the same period. Recent inspections from late 2024 revealed multiple safety concerns in apartments 2C and 4B, including missing smoke detectors, carbon monoxide detectors, and issues with self-closing doors. Apartment 2C had lead paint concerns and a cockroach infestation was documented in both 2C and 4B.

The Department of Buildings issued violations in 2023-2024 related to external low pressure inspection filing and energy efficiency display requirements, though these were subsequently dismissed. Historical data shows a pattern of rodent inspection activity, with some initial failures followed by passes in subsequent years. Notably, the building has maintained a clean record for bedbug infestations over the past eight reporting periods from 2019 to 2024, with zero infested units reported.
