2435 Barker Avenue, Bronx, NY 10467

The 4-unit, 2-story building at 2435 Barker Avenue in Allerton, owned by Courtney Gibson, was constructed in 1927 and has experienced several notable maintenance issues in recent years. Most significantly, there are three open violations related to bedbug reporting requirements from 2021-2024 that remain unresolved as of 2025. The building's history reveals a pattern of recurring maintenance concerns, particularly in 2020, when multiple complaints were filed regarding paint and plaster conditions in various areas including walls, cabinets, and radiators, as well as safety concerns related to smoke and carbon monoxide detectors.

While many of these complaints were closed by late 2020, with most inspections resulting in no violations, there were documented issues with the entrance door self-closing mechanism in apartment 1R. The property underwent rodent inspections in 2017 and 2022, both of which passed, indicating some level of pest control success. During the 2020-2021 period, a series of complaints were filed regarding unsanitary conditions, including pests, which were subsequently addressed through inspections.

Additionally, an emergency flooring/stairs complaint from May 2020 was closed by June 2020. The building's documented issues suggest a history of various maintenance challenges, though many have been addressed through normal inspection and violation processes. Of particular note is the lack of consistent bedbug reporting compliance, as evidenced by the open violations related to annual bedbug report filing requirements.
