2105 Wallace Avenue, Bronx, NY 10462

The 6-story, 191-unit residential building at 2105 Wallace Avenue in Bronxdale, owned by Janice Tyson and constructed in 1952, has experienced several significant maintenance and safety issues in recent years. Most notably, there have been recurring water-related problems, with the most recent complaints in June 2025 involving both heavy flow and ceiling paint/plaster issues that HPD was unable to inspect properly. The building has also struggled with plumbing issues, particularly involving toilets, as evidenced by multiple complaints in spring 2025.

A significant cluster of violations was noted in late 2024, primarily affecting apartments 6B and 6C, including problems with peeling paint, water leaks, ceiling issues, and a reported roach infestation. The building's maintenance history shows persistent door/window problems, floor issues, and various infrastructure concerns. The property's recent history also shows some concerning patterns regarding building management and maintenance compliance. In April 2025 alone, there were multiple complaints about bathrooms, doors, and flooring problems that required HPD inspections.

The building has open housing maintenance code violations from December 2024 relating to door latch issues, smoke detector requirements, and missing signage for building management contact information. While the building has passed rodent inspections regularly from 2018 through 2025, there was one unit reported for bedbug infestation in 2024, though it was subsequently treated. The Department of Buildings records show various complaints between 2019 and 2021 regarding elevator service, unauthorized modifications, and compliance with accessibility requirements, though most of these were closed without finding violations. The building's current status in terms of active violations or significant ongoing issues is not immediately clear from the data, though the recent water-related complaints suggest continuing maintenance challenges.
