2080 Barnes Avenue, Bronx, NY 10462

2080 Barnes Avenue is a 6-story, 96-unit residential building constructed in 1951, currently owned by Christina Forbes. The building has experienced recurring issues with heat and hot water systems over the past several years, with multiple emergency complaints recorded between October and December 2018, as well as December 2022, affecting both individual apartments and the entire building. More recently, in August 2023, there was a complaint about unsanitary conditions related to pests, though no violations were found upon inspection.

The building has maintained a consistent record of passing rodent inspections, with the most recent successful inspections occurring in March 2025, March 2024, and March 2023. The property shows a pattern of heat and hot water-related issues, particularly noticeable in the 2018-2022 period, though these complaints have decreased in recent years. In terms of violation history, there are several open violations from March 2018 related to Apartment 6F, including issues with door self-closing mechanisms, water leaks, and incomplete painting requirements.

The building's systems have undergone various inspections, including DOB inspections in 2019 which resulted in two violations, though these were later dismissed in December 2022 based on subsequent reports showing corrections. Notably, the building has maintained a bedbug-free status in recent filings, with no reported infested units in the past few years. While the building has faced ongoing maintenance challenges, particularly regarding heating systems, there has been an overall improvement in recent years, with fewer emergency complaints and consistent pest management success as evidenced by recent rodent inspection results.
