Augrented Insights Report for 2179 Matthews Avenue

2179 Matthews Avenue, a three-story, 48-unit residential building constructed in 1948 in the Bronx's Bronxdale neighborhood, has experienced ongoing maintenance challenges throughout recent years. Most notably, the building has faced persistent rodent issues, with multiple rat sightings reported between April 2025 and June 2025, including confirmed rat activity in May and June 2025, and violations issued by the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene.

The property has been under observation for rodent control, receiving both bait application and inspection results showing rat activity, though recent inspections in July 2025 resulted in passing compliance. The building has also encountered recurring heating system problems, with multiple emergency heat/hot water complaints registered between 2023 and 2024, though these issues were typically resolved promptly.

Additional maintenance violations have been documented, including three separate Housing Maintenance Code complaints in December 2024 related to heat/hot water issues, as well as violations regarding building maintenance in February 2023 involving damaged fire retardant materials, a leaking roof, and incomplete painting requirements in the building's public areas. While there were two active violations noted in 2021-2022 regarding annual bedbug reporting requirements, the subsequent bedbug reports from 2022 through 2024 indicate no infestations occurred during those periods. The building has also experienced administrative oversight issues, including a currently active violation from December 2021 regarding energy efficiency score display requirements, though a previous benchmarking report violation from 2019 was dismissed upon confirmation of submission.
