2430 Tratman Avenue, Bronx, NY 10461

The 4-story, 19-unit building at 2430 Tratman Avenue in Westchester Square, owned by Bujar Lajqi and constructed in 1928 as a New Law Tenement, has experienced multiple recurring maintenance issues in recent years. Most notably, there has been a pattern of heat and hot water emergencies affecting the entire building, with significant incidents recorded in February, October, and November 2024, all of which were eventually resolved.

The building has also faced water-related challenges, including heavy flow leaks in June 2024 that resulted in violations, and multiple complaints about heat and hot water issues during the same period. More recent concerns include an unsanitary animal complaint from June 2025 that could not be inspected, and currently open heat/hot water complaints. The property shows several concerning violations from 2024 that remain unresolved, particularly affecting the fourth-floor apartment (4A) and common areas, including issues with smoke detectors, water leaks, ceiling problems, and various maintenance deficiencies.

Apartment 3E was noted in October 2024 for defective carbon monoxide and smoke detectors, though these violations were certified as corrected by November 2024. The building has maintained an active monitoring record for bedbugs, with no reported cases since 2019, and successfully passed a rodent inspection in February 2019. While some maintenance issues have been addressed promptly, the building's history of recurring heat/hot water complaints and recent unresolved violations suggests ongoing infrastructure and maintenance challenges that affect both apartments and common areas.
