2552 East Tremont Avenue, Bronx, NY 10461

The 6-unit residential building at 2552 East Tremont Avenue in Westchester Square, owned by Jerry Mastrogiacomo, has experienced several significant maintenance and compliance issues since 2018. Most recently, in August 2023, there were complaints about heat and hot water service problems, though city inspectors were unable to gain access to verify these conditions. The building has persistent issues with bedbug reporting compliance, with open violations recorded in 2022, 2023, and 2024 indicating failure to file the required annual bedbug report.

From 2018 to 2019, there was notable enforcement action regarding electrical safety, including a $400 penalty for unapproved electrical equipment in May 2019 and multiple related complaints about electrical wiring issues that resulted in Oath Violation Served. These electrical concerns appear to have been resolved through various permits issued in 2019 and 2021. The building's regulatory history shows a pattern of access issues during inspections, with multiple occasions where inspectors were unable to gain necessary access to assess reported problems.

While some historical violations regarding a ground-level illuminated sign and awning were resolved with penalties totaling $2,650 from 2018, the primary ongoing concerns appear to center around heat service reliability and bedbug reporting compliance. A rodent inspection conducted in April 2019 resulted in a "Passed" rating, indicating that particular concern had been addressed. The most recent permit activity includes electrical work permitted in 2021, suggesting some maintenance and improvements have been undertaken, though the persisted violations regarding bedbug reporting remain open as of 2025.
