2012 Colonial Avenue, Bronx, NY 10461

The 2-story, 3-unit residential building at 2012 Colonial Avenue in Pelham Bay, currently owned by Leutrim Krasniqi, was constructed in 1925 and has undergone significant recent scrutiny. The property has been cited for multiple open violations related to the failure to file annual bedbug reports between 2021 and 2024, reflecting potential pest management oversight. In 2019, the building experienced a concerning series of events including complaints about illegal conversion, structural stability concerns, and unauthorized after-hours work, which led to the issuance of two significant Environmental Control Board (ECB) violations for unpermitted work and failure to comply with correction orders, totaling potential penalties of $18,750.

Though these violations were noted as active, there are no current balance dues on record. The building has been subject to repeated rodent-related complaints in recent years, with reported sightings in both 2020 and 2021, though both instances resulted in inspections that found no violations. The property has passed all rodent inspections conducted in 2019, 2020, and 2021.

Records show that appropriate permits were eventually issued in February 2019 for electrical and plumbing work, following earlier complaints about unpermitted renovations that allegedly included substantial basement modifications. The property's most recent bedbug report violation in April 2024 remains unresolved as of the current date. While the building has passed multiple rodent inspections, the pattern of violations related to pest control reporting requirements and the 2019 construction-related complaints suggest some historical challenges with maintenance compliance.
