2011 Colonial Avenue, Bronx, NY 10461

The three-story, three-unit building at 2011 Colonial Avenue in Pelham Bay, owned by C Kent, has experienced recurring heat and hot water issues over the past year, with two emergency complaints filed in October and November 2024. While the October incident remains unresolved as of mid-October 2024, the November complaint was closed the same day after HPD confirmed the condition had been addressed.

A building inspection on October 17, 2024, resulted in three Class C violations regarding defective self-closing doors: one at the building entrance in the public hall on the first story, one in Apartment 2 on the second story, and an A-class violation related to the improper placement of a certificate of inspection frame in the first-story public hall. All these violations were certified as closed on November 6, 2024. The building, constructed in 2005, has generally maintained good health over the years, with no recorded instances of bedbug infestations since at least 2019, as evidenced by annual filings showing zero infested units.

Past records indicate successful rodent inspections in 2019 and 2014, both passing without incident. The property has demonstrated compliance with bedbug reporting requirements, consistently showing no cases or eradications across multiple years of reporting. While the recent heating system issues and door violations are noteworthy, the building's overall maintenance history suggests these may be isolated incidents rather than indicative of broader systemic problems.
