2512 Barker Avenue, Bronx, NY 10467

The two-family house at 2512 Barker Avenue in Allerton, owned by Abraham Wieder and built in 1950, has experienced recurring maintenance issues over the past several years, with particular concerns regarding heating and water systems. Most recently, in March 2023, a heat/hot water complaint was filed but HPD was unable to gain access for inspection.

This followed a series of heating system problems documented between late 2020 and early 2021, including emergency complaints in November 2020, December 2020, and January 2021, with some violations issued. Water-related issues were also prominent, with multiple complaints including heavy flow and slow leak problems in 2021 and 2020, respectively, though inspections did not result in violations for the latter. The building has faced electrical concerns as well, with an emergency complaint about wiring in July 2021, which resulted in an Oath violation being served.

Additionally, there were significant rodent-related issues in January 2022, with verified violations found on the property. A serious sanitary condition involving mold was reported in October 2018, for which HPD was unable to gain access to conduct an inspection. While some complaints were resolved through inspections and corrective actions, with HPD verifying corrections in several heating system cases and water leaks, the recurrence of similar issues suggests ongoing maintenance challenges within the building.
