2116 Glebe Avenue, Bronx, NY 10462

The 21-unit, 5-story New Law Tenement building at 2116 Glebe Avenue in Westchester Square, owned by Leka Cotaj and constructed in 1929, has experienced several recurring infrastructure issues over the past few years. Most notably, there have been multiple heating and hot water emergencies affecting the entire building, with the most recent occurring in December 2024. The building has also faced persistent plumbing challenges, particularly regarding water supply systems in June 2024, and an open electrical lighting issue since March 2025.

Multiple code violations remain active as of 2024, including problems with building safety systems such as inadequate carbon monoxide detector notices, missing emergency procedures postings, and maintenance issues with security doors. Recent inspections have revealed both structural and maintenance concerns, including required repairs to the 5th-story parapet wall and vertical cracks on the exterior walls. The building has also experienced issues with unauthorized smoking/vaping in prohibited areas in mid-2024, though these complaints were eventually closed.

While there were pest control concerns in late 2023 and early 2024, rodent inspection records show that a compliance inspection in January 2024 passed, representing an improvement from a failed inspection in November 2023. The property has three active violations related to failure to file external low-pressure inspections from 2018-2020, though these are typically administrative in nature. The building's maintenance history suggests ongoing challenges with basic services, particularly heating and water systems, which have required multiple emergency interventions in recent years.
