1933 Mayflower Avenue, Bronx, NY 10461

The property at 1933 Mayflower Avenue in Pelham Bay, a 5-unit, 2-story building built in 1931 and currently owned by Anthony Lombardo, has experienced several significant maintenance issues over recent years. Most notably, there have been recurring problems with heating and hot water systems, with two separate complaints in December 2023 (one for the entire building and another for a specific apartment), and a similar apartment-only complaint in January 2022.

These heating system failures have required emergency responses from the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD). The building has also faced various other maintenance challenges, including plumbing issues (December 2022), rodent problems in 2021 (with multiple complaints and inspections), and pest infestations, particularly a documented roach infestation in apartment 2F (May 2021). The building's safety systems have received attention as well, with violations recorded in 2021 regarding missing or defective carbon monoxide and smoke detectors in apartment 2F.

Additional maintenance concerns have included door frame issues, various unsanitary conditions including mold (July 2021), and concerns about lead paint compliance, as indicated by two open violations from June 2023 related to record-keeping and tenant notification requirements. While the building's maintenance history shows numerous issues that have generally been documented and addressed through appropriate channels, the recurring nature of heating system problems and the presence of rodent-related violations suggest ongoing challenges with building systems and maintenance. The property has maintained a consistent record of bedbug-free status, with no reported infestations in the past five reporting periods from 2020 through 2025.
