2172 Muliner Avenue, Bronx, NY 10462

The three-story, two-unit building at 2172 Muliner Avenue in the Bronxdale neighborhood, owned by Gary Neustadt, has experienced a series of maintenance and safety issues in recent months. Between March and May 2025 alone, there were multiple complaints regarding plumbing problems (including issues with bathtubs, showers, and toilets), water leaks with damp spots, mold, and unsanitary conditions.

Some of these complaints resulted in violations that required the owner to address the conditions, while others were closed without finding violations. The building has also faced challenges with pests, cooking gas safety, and various maintenance issues including problems with ceiling paint/plaster, electric outlets, and appliances. Prior to 2025, there were several significant interactions with the Department of Buildings regarding the property, including two complaints about illegal conversions (in 2022 and 2024) where inspectors were unable to gain access, and multiple reports of illegal after-hours work.

In terms of pest control, the building demonstrated a proactive approach in the 2023-2024 period, with 10 units treated and eradicated for bedbugs, though there were no reported re-infestations. While the building has undergone various inspections and investigations, many complaints had resolution outcomes of "No Violation Warranted" or "Inspector Unable To Gain Access," indicating either compliance with housing codes or difficulties in inspection processes. The current maintenance status of the building shows a pattern of recurring plumbing and mold issues that have required regulatory attention.
