2144 Bronx Park East, Bronx, NY 10462

The 78-unit, 6-story building at 2144 Bronx Park East, owned by Isidoros Sfikas and classified as a New Law Tenement, has experienced a series of persistent maintenance issues, particularly regarding water-related problems and heating systems. Most recently, in June 2025, there is an open complaint regarding a heavy water leak, which follows a similar water leak issue from April 2025 that resulted in violations. The building has a recurring pattern of heating system problems, with multiple heat/hot water complaints recorded in both December 2024 and April 2025, though some were resolved with confirmation of repairs. In 2024, Apartment 5B experienced several violations including pest infestations (both mice and roaches), smoke detector issues, and problems with doors and security systems, all of which were subsequently addressed and closed.

The property has faced multiple elevator-related issues over the years, with complaints in 2023, 2024, and 2019 regarding single device operation and alternate service, though inspections found no violations at times of examination. A significant batch of violations was issued in 2024 for various safety concerns including fire escape issues and door security problems, all of which were ultimately resolved. The building's HVAC system has been a persistent source of complaints, with multiple instances of heating and hot water issues reported between 2024 and 2025. More recent service requests also indicate problems with appliances, as evidenced by a refrigerator complaint filed in June 2025.

Rodent inspections have shown mixed results, with several failures noted between 2021 and 2023, though most recent inspections in 2024 and 2025 have passed. The building has a documented history of bedbug issues, with the most recent infestation reported in 2024 affecting one unit, though previous infestations were reported as eradicated. The property has active DOB violations regarding the failure to file the 2019 external low pressure inspection and had at least two elevator-related ECB violations in 2023 and 2018, with varying penalties. Recent housing maintenance code violations and service requests continue to indicate ongoing maintenance challenges, particularly related to water systems and heating infrastructure, suggesting that while many past violations have been addressed, new and recurring issues continue to affect the building.
