2625 Halperin Avenue, Bronx, NY 10461

The two-family house at 2625 Halperin Avenue in Westchester Square, owned by Dhanmattie Nardeo and built in 1901, has experienced a series of significant maintenance issues over the past two years, with particular emphasis on heating and water systems. Most recently, in November 2024 and October 2024, there were complaints of inadequate heat and hot water, prompting emergency responses from HPD, though in both instances heat and hot water were reported restored during the inspection process.

The building faced an electrical issue in October 2024 involving no lighting, which HPD was unable to fully inspect. Earlier in 2023, there were multiple plumbing-related complaints, including issues with water supply, toilet systems, and radiators, with violations issued for toilet problems. Additional concerns included a building-wide heat and hot water complaint in October 2023, which had reportedly been resolved during inspection.

Earlier maintenance history shows various infrastructure concerns, such as flooring problems (February 2023), unsanitary conditions related to pests (February 2023), and an appliance issue with the refrigerator (February 2023), though inspections in most cases resulted in no violations being issued. The frequency of heating and water-related complaints, particularly during emergency situations, suggests ongoing challenges with building systems, while the most recent complaints as of November 2024 indicate these issues remain a persistent concern. The building's maintenance record reveals a pattern of system-related problems focusing primarily on heating, hot water, and electrical systems, with multiple complaints showing similar patterns of temporary resolution during inspections.
