1862 Wallace Avenue, Bronx, NY 10462

1862 Wallace Avenue is a 2-story, 3-unit residential building located in the Van Nest neighborhood, constructed in 1899 and currently owned by Bekim Cenaj. The building has experienced recurring issues with heat and hot water, most recently evidenced by a complaint filed in April 2023 that the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) was unable to investigate due to lack of access to the apartments.

This follows a pattern of similar complaints, suggesting potential ongoing maintenance challenges. Of particular note is the building's repeated failure to file required annual bedbug reports, with open violations issued in March 2023, April 2024, and in several previous years dating back to 2021.

While these violations are classified as "Class A", which typically indicates more serious issues, it's important to note that they primarily relate to administrative compliance rather than direct resident health concerns. The building has passed rodent inspections conducted in December 2022 and August 2016, suggesting effective pest control in this regard. Given the age of the building and its history of maintenance-related complaints, the property appears to face ongoing challenges with maintaining basic services, particularly heating systems, though no recent complaints or violations directly related to heating systems have been reported since the April 2023 incident.
