2132 Wallace Avenue, Bronx, NY 10462
2132 Wallace Avenue is a 6-story, 172-unit New Law Tenement building constructed in 1929 located in the Bronxdale neighborhood. The property has experienced numerous maintenance and safety issues in recent years, with particularly concerning patterns emerging in 2025. Most recently, in June 2025, the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene confirmed rodent violations on the property, while multiple inspections in May 2025 by the Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) department were unable to gain access to inspect reported issues, including water leaks, radiator problems, and window frame concerns.
The building has also faced significant heating and hot water system problems, with multiple complaints about inadequate service and subsequent violations being issued to the property owner during May 2025 related to these critical systems. The building's recent history shows persistent infrastructure and safety concerns, including active rat activity as documented by multiple inspections throughout 2024-2025. December 2024 inspections revealed multiple violations, including inadequate heating and hot water supply in apartment 256, and missing carbon monoxide and smoke detectors in apartment 244.
The building has also received notable Environmental Control Board (ECB) violations, including one from October 2024 regarding obstructed emergency exits and another from December 2024 concerning exterior wall maintenance. More recently, in June 2025, there were serious concerns about the structural stability of neighboring properties (782 Lydig Avenue), resulting in vacate orders for nearby commercial spaces. The elevator system has been a recurring source of violations, with multiple issues documented between 2021-2024 including inoperative emergency systems, misalignment problems, and maintenance concerns. While the building has shown some compliance with bedbug reporting requirements, showing periods with zero reported infestations since 2020, the frequency of other maintenance violations raises ongoing concerns about overall building conditions and maintenance response times.
