2333 Wallace Avenue, Bronx, NY 10467

Located in the Allerton neighborhood, 2333 Wallace Avenue is a two-story, 3-unit residential building constructed in 1955 and currently owned by Astrit Rucaj. The property has experienced several significant maintenance issues over the past few years, most notably a cluster of heat and hot water outages in early 2022.

Between February 9 and March 13, 2022, there were at least ten documented complaints regarding lack of heat and hot water affecting the entire building, which prompted emergency responses from the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD). While inspections during this period indicated that heat and hot water had been restored, the frequency of these complaints suggests a troubling pattern of service interruptions. More recently, the building has faced challenges with bedbug reporting compliance, with open violations recorded in 2021, 2022, 2023, and 2024 regarding the annual bedbug report requirements.

The property also currently has several open violations from a March 2022 inspection, including issues with entrance doors and missing signage related to the building's heating system. While there have been two reported rodent sightings (in 2022 and 2023), both inspections conducted by the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene passed without violations. The building's history shows consistent maintenance issues during 2022, particularly regarding essential services, though more recent records indicate these problems may have stabilized, with the exception of the ongoing bedbug reporting violations.
