2064 Barnes Avenue, Bronx, NY 10462

The 6-story, 50-unit building at 2064 Barnes Avenue in Bronxdale, managed by Nua Palushaj, has experienced recurring maintenance issues over recent years, notably with heating systems. The most recent concerns include a 2025 smoke detector complaint that could not be inspected, and multiple heat/hot water outages in late 2023 that required multiple HPD interventions and inspections to verify restoration of services. The building's record shows persistent heating system problems, particularly during December 2022 when multiple complaints were filed about heat and hot water issues affecting the entire building.

Additional maintenance history reveals a 2024 violation for exterior wall maintenance needs, with documented cracks on brick masonry at several locations, though this violation was subsequently resolved. The building has undergone regular bedbug inspections, with reports from 2019 through 2025 showing no infested dwelling units. However, there have been rodent inspection failures in early 2025 and 2023, with compliance inspections generally showing passing results in previous years.

The property has active DOB violations related to failure to file an 2018 external low-pressure inspection and display energy efficiency scores, which remain unresolved as of 2023. The building's violation history shows attention to life safety issues, with past violations related to carbon monoxide detectors, smoke detectors, and self-closing doors. These violations were all eventually closed, suggesting that while maintenance issues have been persistent, the management has generally responded to regulatory enforcement actions. The property's maintenance pattern indicates particular challenges with building systems during extreme weather conditions, as evidenced by the concentrated heat and hot water complaints during winter months.
