2166 Bronx Park East, Bronx, NY 10462

The 65-unit residential building at 2166 Bronx Park East in the Bronxdale neighborhood, owned by Juliana Gonzalez, has experienced significant maintenance challenges in recent years. Most urgently, there are active ECB violations issued in November 2024 regarding blocked fire escape egress and exterior wall maintenance issues, with penalties totaling $18,750. The building has documented persistent plumbing and water issues, including multiple reports of slow leaks and unsanitary mold conditions between 2025 and 2024, with HPD inspections often unable to gain access for verification.

Heating system problems were notably problematic during early 2025, with at least three separate complaints and confirmed issues. The property has a documented history of rodent activity, with consistent bait applications and rat sightings recorded between 2023 and 2025, though recent bedbug filings show no infestation in the past three reporting periods (2022-2024). February 2022 through 2024 saw several Housing Maintenance Code violations being documented, particularly during a September 2024 inspection of Apartment 3D, which revealed multiple window-related issues that were subsequently certified corrected. The building also has outstanding violations related to energy efficiency reporting, with several fines for failure to file benchmarking reports and display requirements between 2021 and 2022.

While some issues have been addressed, including several closed complaints regarding heat and hot water systems, the building continues to face challenges with maintenance access for inspections, as evidenced by multiple HPD complaints wherein access was not granted. Recent building inspections and violations indicate ongoing concerns with basic building systems and maintenance, including plumbing, heating, and pest control, despite some efforts at remediation. The building's age (constructed in 1936) appears to present challenges for maintaining modern systems, and the presence of active environmental violations suggests areas requiring immediate attention. It's worth noting that while many past violations have been resolved, there remains a pattern of recurring issues, particularly related to water and heating systems.
