2191 Bolton Street, Bronx, NY 10462

The 54-unit residential building at 2191 Bolton Street in Bronxdale, owned by Katie McAllister, has experienced several maintenance and safety issues since 2022, with the most recent concerns集中 in 2023-2025. Most notably, there are multiple active violations as of September 2023 in apartment 6J, including issues with a defective smoke detector, carbon monoxide detector, bedbug infestation, roof leakage, and various plaster and paint damage. The building has recurring problems with heating systems, as evidenced by multiple heat/hot water complaints in both 2022 and 2025.

The property has an ongoing rodent control challenge, with multiple inspections showing rat activity between 2019 and 2025. Recent rodent inspections in 2024-2025 showed inconsistent results, indicating persistent pest management difficulties. There are also several open Department of Buildings violations related to external low-pressure maintenance inspections that have not been filed properly since 2018-2020. During 2023, multiple safety concerns were documented, including issues with smoke detectors and carbon monoxide detectors, though many complaints resulted in either no violations being issued or were closed after verification of repairs.

The building has shown some positive compliance with health department inspections, such as passing an October 2023 rodent inspection and a June 2023 and February 2025 heat/hot water complaint verification. However, there is no recent history of bedbug infestations reported after April 2024, when the building had 2 infested units that were subsequently eradicated. A significant exterior maintenance issue was documented in 2024, with a penalty imposed for failure to maintain building exterior walls. The building's history includes a construction safety inspection from 2019 that resulted in a stop work order being rescinded, along with various HVAC-related violations that remain active as of mid-2023.
