2136 Continental Avenue, Bronx, NY 10461

The 4-unit, 3-story residential building at 2136 Continental Avenue in Pelham Bay, owned by Yuying Lin, was constructed in 1998 and has experienced several notable maintenance issues over the years. Most recently, as of April 2024, the building has open violations related to its annual bedbug reporting requirements, continuing a pattern from 2023 and earlier years.

The building has a documented history of heating system problems, with multiple complaints in August 2019 regarding lack of heat and hot water, though these were ultimately resolved. Between December 2021 and March 2022, several emergency housing maintenance code complaints were filed regarding safety equipment, including issues with door/window functionality and problems with smoke and carbon monoxide detectors. The building has shown some positive indicators as well, including rodent inspections in April 2019 which resulted in a passing grade.

The property's records show compliance with various safety requirements in 2019, with violations noted at that time being promptly addressed, including installation of proper notices regarding smoke detectors, carbon monoxide detectors, and various building requirements. A bedbug reporting period from 2020-2021 showed infestation in three units, though none during the 2021-2022 period, with complete eradication reported. The building has maintained its registration and compliance with basic housing codes, though the recent pattern of open violations regarding bedbug reporting suggests ongoing administrative oversight issues that have persisted over multiple years.
