2250 Haviland Avenue, Bronx, NY 10462

The 15-unit, 4-story New Law Tenement at 2250 Haviland Avenue in Unionport, currently owned by Sokol Bujaj, has experienced persistent maintenance challenges since 2025, particularly regarding pest control and sanitary conditions. Most recently, in April-May 2025, multiple complaints were filed regarding pests, garbage storage issues, and intercom problems, resulting in violations that the owner has been given time to rectify.

The building's history shows recurring pest issues, including documented rodent activity through inspections between 2017 and 2024, with failed compliance results as recently as September 2024. Significant violations were noted in December 2024, particularly in Apartment O on the 4th floor, including problems with rodent infestations, kitchen ceiling leaks, and various repair needs. The building has also faced infrastructure challenges, including multiple heat and hot water complaints in January 2025 that were eventually verified as corrected by HPD.

Additional concerns were documented regarding fire escape maintenance, with violations issued in December 2024 requiring proper installation of drop ladder shoes. Historical records show previous issues with building systems, including a 2019 boiler inspection violation and an ECB violation from 2018 concerning maintenance issues such as holes in ceilings and an unsealed chimney hole, which remains active with a penalty balance due. While the building has maintained a bedbug-free record since 2019, as evidenced by the annual reporting requirement, the recurring pattern of pest complaints and other maintenance issues suggests ongoing challenges with building upkeep and resident comfort.
