2068 Matthews Avenue, Bronx, NY 10462

2068 Matthews Avenue is a three-story, three-unit residential building located in the Bronxdale neighborhood, constructed in 2007 and currently owned by Litton Shahreair. The property has experienced recurring water-related issues, with two heavy water leak complaints in 2023 and 2021, though inspections in 2023 showed no violations, while the earlier incident remained unverified due to inspection access issues.

The building has documented electrical concerns, including a power outage in October 2023 that HPD could not verify access to inspect, and structural issues were briefly raised in 2021 regarding building stability, which was promptly investigated with no violations found. The property has faced several maintenance challenges over the years, including pest-related problems. A 2019 inspection revealed roach infestations in Apartment 1, and though a Bedbug Report filed in 2022 showed zero incidents during the specified period (2020-2021), the building currently has open violations from 2020 requiring annual bedbug report filings.

Other outstanding violations from 2020 remain unresolved, particularly concerning apartment 1B, where issues with paint, water leaks, and base molding were documented. The building's maintenance history includes various complaints about flooring, ceilings, and unsanitary conditions, though inspections often resulted in no violations being issued. Recent rodent inspections in 2023 failed for unspecified reasons, while earlier inspections from 2015-2016 had passed, indicating varying levels of pest management success over time.
