2335 Ellis Avenue, Bronx, NY 10462

The two-story, six-unit residential building at 2335 Ellis Avenue in Unionport, owned by Ben Celaj and constructed in 1930, has experienced several maintenance issues over the past few years. Most recently, in mid-2024, there was a pest-related complaint that, while inspected by HPD, resulted in no violations being issued.

In 2023, multiple emergency complaints were filed regarding floor and stair conditions, as well as door issues, all of which were inspected and closed without violations. A significant safety concern arose in 2019 when the entire building experienced heat and hot water problems, with violations issued for inadequate access to the heating system and hot water deficiencies in ground-floor Apartment 2A. The building has been subject to multiple Housing Maintenance Code violations over the years, including a 2024 violation requiring annual bedbug report filing and a September 2023 violation related to defective self-closing doors at the building entrance.

However, it's worth noting that the building's bedbug reporting history from 2021 to 2024 shows consistently zero infested, eradicated, or re-infested dwelling units. Past rodent inspections in 2010 and 2013 were both passed, indicating no issues with rodent infestation. While the building has had several maintenance-related complaints, most have been resolved without violations, suggesting regular attention to building upkeep, though some historical issues with heating and hot water systems should be noted.
