2100 Eastchester Road, Bronx, NY 10461

2100 Eastchester Road is a 6-story, 70-unit, residential building located in the Morris Park neighborhood, constructed in 1963 and currently owned by Paul Gjonaj. The building has experienced recurring heat and hot water issues, with seven documented complaints regarding inadequate heat or hot water affecting the entire building between 2022 and 2025, three of which occurred in early 2025. The elevator system has been a persistent concern, with multiple complaints regarding maintenance, including significant periods of outage in 2023 and 2024 when no alternate service was available, leading to violations related to accessibility.

More recently, in October 2024, the building received two active Environmental Control Board violations related to safety concerns, including spalling concrete on balconies and obstructed fire escapes, with associated penalties totaling $18,750. These issues were serious enough to prompt a partial vacate order for the affected facade balconies. Despite these maintenance challenges, the building has shown some positive developments; records indicate no bedbug infestations since 2022, and a passed rodent inspection in 2023. Recent inspections have demonstrated some regulatory compliance, including the proper posting of the inspection certificate frame, though there are still some open violations, particularly concerning waste storage.

The building has a documented history of responding to various tenant concerns, with the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) frequently investigating complaints, though access to units has sometimes been an issue during inspections. The property has maintained a record of addressing heating system failures when reported, as evidenced by complaints being closed once conditions were verified as corrected. In 2024-2025, violations regarding failure to certify corrections on hazardous conditions were issued but subsequently dismissed. There is an ongoing effort to address building systems and safety requirements, as evidenced by multiple permits issued between 2019-2021 for various maintenance and improvement works, though the recurring nature of elevator and heating system complaints suggests persistent infrastructure challenges.
