2362 Lyon Avenue, Bronx, NY 10462

This 11-unit, 4-story New Law tenement building at 2362 Lyon Avenue in Westchester Square, owned by Zef Makaj, has experienced several significant maintenance issues over recent years. Most notably, the building faced a series of heating and hot water problems in December 2022, with multiple emergency complaints generated by tenants and subsequently verified by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD).

These issues were resolved, but they highlighted a critical infrastructure concern. The building has also accumulated three active violations with the Department of Buildings related to failure to file required external low-pressure inspections for 2021 and 2022, and an annual boiler inspection for 2017. Regular inspections and filings indicate some diligence in pest management, with the most recent bedbug report (January 2025) showing no infestations during the 2023-2024 period, continuing a trend of zero infestations reported in previous years.

The building's maintenance history includes various repairs and compliance issues, such as multiple rodent inspections between 2010-2019 (with failures noted in some initial inspections), security door concerns in 2019 involving Apartment 6, and a 2019 boiler room access violation. While there have been multiple housing maintenance code violations over the years, most have been promptly addressed and closed, suggesting a generally responsive management approach to regulatory requirements. The most recent work permit issued in 2020 (permit sequence number 01) indicates that some maintenance work was authorized, though specific details of the work were not provided in the records.
