2190 Boston Road, Bronx, NY 10462

The 78-unit, 6-story apartment building at 2190 Boston Road in Bronxdale, owned by Sandra Tansky, has experienced several recurring maintenance issues over recent years. Most notably, there have been ongoing concerns with rodent activity, with multiple inspections in 2024 and 2025 showing rat activity, though the March 2025 inspection passed. The building has also faced infrastructure challenges, including a water leak in 2022 that resulted in multiple violations, and more recent issues identified in June 2024 involving roofing problems, door/window concerns, and various painting/plastering deficiencies.

The Department of Buildings has active violations related to elevator safety from 2019, specifically involving car restrictor repairs, though several previous violations from 2018-2021 have been dismissed or resolved. The building's maintenance history shows a pattern of both emergency and non-emergency issues being reported and addressed through HPD. These include problems with walls, ceilings, and plumbing systems, with violations cited for various maintenance code breaches.

Recent inspections have identified specific areas requiring attention, such as ceiling and wall repairs in the 6th-story public hall bulkhead. The property has maintained an active bedbug reporting history with zero reported infestations or re-infestations since 2020, and recent rodent inspections have shown some improvement in management response, though problems persist. The building is subject to periodic Department of Health inspections, with varying results regarding rodent activity, and has had multiple permit issuances for approved work, particularly related to elevator systems and other equipment needs.
