2434 Dorsey Street, Bronx, NY 10461

The two-story, five-unit residential building at 2434 Dorsey Street in Westchester Square, owned by Saul Schwartz, has experienced recurring heating system issues and safety concerns over its recent history. Most notably, there are currently three open complaints filed in April 2025 regarding a fire escape safety issue and a door problem, though these have not yet been resolved.

The building has faced multiple heating and hot water outages in recent years, with the most recent emergency complaints filed in January 2025 and April 2025, though the January issue was resolved quickly and the April complaints are still pending resolution. The property has a documented history of various maintenance issues, particularly during late 2018, when multiple violations were recorded in Apartment 2B, including problems with mold (which remains an open violation as of the latest inspection records), broken plaster surfaces, and paint issues in both walls and ceilings.

Safety system concerns have also been noted, including a broken carbon monoxide detector and broken window guards in November 2018. The building's management has shown some responsiveness to pest control issues, as evidenced by regular bedbug reporting from 2021 to 2025, with no current infestations reported, though there were instances of previously eradicated units in 2023 and 2024. Recent housing maintenance code inspections in 2023 and earlier years indicated various compliance requirements, including the need to file annual bedbug reports, which the management has complied with through May 2025.
