2169 Hone Avenue, Bronx, NY 10461

The 4-story, 10-unit building at 2169 Hone Avenue in Bronxdale, owned by 2169 Hone Avenue LLC and constructed in 2015, has experienced persistent maintenance and sanitation issues over the past two years. Most notably, there has been an ongoing rodent problem, with multiple rat sightings and conditions attracting rodents reported throughout 2024-2025, though recent compliance inspections in July 2025 showed improvement with a passing result.

The building has faced several concerning maintenance issues, including multiple unsanitary conditions related to garbage/recycling storage (most recently reported in May 2025 and currently open), and problems with heating and hot water systems in April 2025, though these were resolved shortly after being reported. Additional violations documented in 2024 include issues with building entrance security (broken locks), front yard sanitation, and a requirement to file annual bedbug reports, while earlier maintenance problems in 2023 involved water damage and various repair needs in apartment 4D. The building's maintenance history shows some improvements, with several violations being resolved through inspections, including bathroom repairs in apartment 4D and various security and notification issues.

Three rodent-related violations were documented as open in May 2025, specifically regarding refuse and rubbish accumulation in the building's front yard. The property has undergone multiple rodent inspections since its construction, with initial inspections often failing for various reasons, though more recent inspections in 2025 have passed. The building has maintained a bedbug-free status with no infested units reported in the last documented period from 2021-2022, and no re-infestations recorded since then, based on the bedbug reporting filed in March 2023.
