2439 Barker Avenue, Bronx, NY 10467

The 12-unit, 5-story residential building at 2439 Barker Avenue in Allerton, owned by 2439 Barker Llc, was completed in 2021 and has experienced persistent maintenance issues since occupancy. Most recently, in May 2025, there were complaints about unsanitary conditions related to pests and wall damage, though HPD inspectors were unable to access the premises for verification. Throughout 2024-2025, the building has faced multiple challenges, including a February 2025 pest infestation, a November 2024 heat and hot water emergency, and various maintenance problems such as mold, water leaks, and issues with windows/frames.

Notable violations were recorded in 2024, particularly affecting apartment 4A, including problems with plastered surfaces, water leaks, and building systems like bell/buzzer/intercom. Prior to and during construction, several safety compliance issues were documented, including multiple violations in March 2021 regarding construction worker training requirements, for which penalties were imposed totaling $12,750. The building's permit history shows proper documentation during construction, with permits issued in late 2020 and 2021.

While rodent inspections in 2017 and 2022 passed, the recent pest-related complaints suggest ongoing maintenance challenges. The property has maintained an active bedbug reporting record from 2021-2025, consistently showing zero infested or re-infested units. Recent Housing Maintenance Code violations include missing notices regarding smoke detector and carbon monoxide requirements, though these were certified as corrected by mid-2024.
