2436 Dorsey Street, Bronx, NY 10461

The two-story, five-unit residential building at 2436 Dorsey Street in Westchester Square, owned by Angels Love Development LLC, has experienced recurring heating and hot water issues over recent years, with the most recent cluster of complaints in October 2023 involving the entire building. This pattern of heating system problems has been notable since at least 2018, with multiple emergency complaints and responses from the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) throughout 2018-2023. Other significant issues include violations related to building maintenance and safety requirements: in December 2023, violations were issued for inadequate vestibule lighting and a defective building entrance door hinge, and in October 2023, there was a violation concerning excessively hot water (over 130 degrees) in Apartment 1F.

The building has also had violations related to bedbug reporting requirements in 2020-2024, though recent filings for 2023-2024 indicate no reported infestations or eradications. Two inspection-related issues were noted in 2023 concerning a missing or defective self-closing door and inadequate vestibule lighting. A rodent inspection conducted in February 2019 resulted in a passing grade.

While the building has had multiple heating system complaints, it's worth noting that in many cases, the issues were reported as resolved shortly after inspection. The management has responded to various violations, with recent inspections in 2023 demonstrating some compliance efforts, such as certifying corrections to the December 2023 violations regarding the building entrance door and vestibule lighting. The building's age (constructed in 1928) and classification as a New Law Tenement are consistent with many of the maintenance challenges observed in the HPD records.
