1937A Barnes Avenue, Bronx, NY 10462

1937A Barnes Avenue is a three-unit, three-story residential building located in the Van Nest neighborhood, owned by Marcello Di Laura and constructed in 1970. The building has undergone multiple inspections and faced several maintenance challenges over the past few years.

Most notably, there was consistent attention required to address bathroom issues in the second-floor apartment (2FL), including problems with the door, floor tiles, and plastered surfaces in 2023, though these violations were subsequently closed by August 2023. The building has shown some ongoing concerns regarding building maintenance compliance, particularly with bedbug reporting requirements, with violations noted in 2022, 2023, and 2024, though the most recent report filed in March 2025 indicates no infested units during the 2023-2024 reporting period.

The property has demonstrated some improvements in recent years, with a passed rodent inspection in January 2023 and no reported bedbug infestations in the most recent reporting period, suggesting effective pest management practices. Historical violations have primarily focused on habitability concerns such as bathroom maintenance and door functionality, particularly in the 2FL unit, as well as building-wide maintenance requirements like hallway wall painting and bedbug reporting compliance. While the building has experienced these various maintenance issues, records indicate that most violations have been addressed and closed, suggesting responsive management to regulatory requirements, though with some recurring themes that have required multiple inspections to resolve.
