2513 Wallace Avenue, Bronx, NY 10467

The 4-story, 8-unit building at 2513 Wallace Avenue in Allerton, constructed in 1910 and currently owned by 2513 Wallace LLC, has experienced several significant maintenance and safety issues in recent years. Most notably, there are multiple open violations as of 2025 in apartment 1B related to water damage, mold, and floor issues, including a C-class violation for water leaks and an A-class violation for condition concerns. The building has shown recurring problems with sanitation, ventilation, and pest control, with multiple 311 complaints filed in 2024-2025 regarding unsanitary conditions in garbage storage areas, ventilation systems, and pest infestations, though HPD inspections generally found no violations in recent complaints.

The building underwent substantial renovations in 2019-2021 which generated multiple Department of Buildings violations related to construction safety, including failure to provide proper OSHA training and inadequate protection of adjoining properties, resulting in significant penalties totaling $30,625. More recent inspections have shown improved conditions, with rodent inspections passing in 2023, though there have been ongoing issues with moisture and maintenance, particularly in the most recently constructed 1B unit. The property has maintained active compliance with bedbug reporting requirements, consistently showing zero infested units between 2022-2024.

The building's infrastructure has seen various permitted work including plumbing, electrical, and general alteration work between 2018 and 2021, with multiple permits issued for different types of renovations. While there have been numerous complaints and violations over the years, particularly during the 2019 construction period, recent patterns suggest some improvement in building conditions, though ongoing maintenance issues remain evident, particularly concerning the physical condition of unit 1B. The building's age and history of renovation work, combined with the nature of recent violations, suggests a property undergoing typical urban maintenance challenges, particularly in relation to its older infrastructure and modern housing requirements.
