2148 Muliner Avenue, Bronx, NY 10462

The two-family house at 2148 Muliner Avenue in Bronxdale, owned by Shulem Berger, has experienced significant maintenance and safety issues over the past two years. Most concerning are the recurring heating problems, with two heat/hot water complaints reported in early 2025 and late 2024, including one classified as an emergency.

The building faced multiple water-related issues in late 2024, including heavy flow water leaks, slow leaks, and problems with the water supply and basin/sink plumbing, resulting in several violations. Other maintenance concerns included lighting problems requiring violations to be issued, ceiling paint/plaster issues, and a documented mold problem in November 2024. The property has a history of multiple inspections related to potential illegal conversions, with attempts to gain access for verification in 2018, 2019, and most recently in December 2024, though inspectors were unable to access the premises.

Compliance inspections for work without permits were conducted in July 2024, with no violations found. A bedbug report from December 2024 shows 10 units treated for infestation with none currently affected. The building's documented issues suggest persistent maintenance challenges, particularly regarding plumbing, heating systems, and access for inspections, while recent bedbug remediation efforts indicate some attention to pest control within the property.
