2041 Mayflower Avenue, Bronx, NY 10461

The two-story, five-unit residential building at 2041 Mayflower Avenue in Pelham Bay, owned by Debbie Zottola, was constructed in 1928 as a New Law tenement. The property has experienced recurring heating and hot water issues, with multiple emergency complaints recorded in 2023-2024, including several incidents in February 2024 that affected both individual apartments and the entire building.

More recently, in April 2024, housing maintenance inspections revealed several active violations requiring attention, including issues related to bedbug reporting requirements, carbon monoxide detector notice posting, public hall ceiling paint requirements, fire retardant material repairs in the second-story hall, and problematic hot water temperatures in Apartment 2B. The building also has outstanding safety compliance issues, such as missing window guards in Apartment 2B, an illegal electromagnetic locking device at the vestibule door, and several required notice postings regarding heating system access, smoke detector requirements, and inspection certificate display. The building's maintenance history shows both persistence and complexity of issues requiring attention over time.

In addition to the 2024 violations, an attempt to address heating issues in May 2023 was documented, though inspectors were unable to gain access to the apartments for verification. The property has undergone rodent inspections in 2014 and 2019, both passing, and there was a complaint regarding the Certificate of Occupancy in late 2018 that resulted in denied access during inspection attempts in 2019. While some complaints have been resolved through inspections and corrections, as indicated by various complaint closures, numerous violations remain open as of April 2024, suggesting ongoing maintenance challenges.
