2436 Wallace Avenue, Bronx, NY 10467

The two-story residential building at 2436 Wallace Avenue, owned by Moses Rabinovits and constructed in 1920, has experienced several recurring maintenance issues over the past three years, with the most recent being a power outage in January 2025 and multiple significant complaints in September 2024. Notable problems include ongoing concerns with heating systems (an October 2023 heat/hot water complaint with violations), gas supply issues (multiple cooking gas complaints in 2024/2025), and various structural maintenance needs such as water leaks, paint/plaster damage, and ceiling problems.

The building is currently facing several open violations from September 2024, particularly affecting the second-floor unit (2F), including issues with smoke detector functionality, carbon monoxide detectors, electrical wiring safety, and an insect infestation. The property's maintenance history reveals a pattern of persistent problems with both the building's infrastructure and pest control.

While there have been no bedbug infestations reported in the past five years (as per the December 2024 report), there have been multiple rodent control efforts documented between 2017 and 2023, with the most recent inspection in April 2023 passing compliance. The building's record shows a mix of emergency and non-emergency complaints, with varying degrees of resolution success, including instances where HPD was unable to gain access for inspection. The property has undergone some inspections that resulted in violations being issued, and while some maintenance issues have been addressed, as evidenced by closed complaints, several critical violations remain open as of September 2024, particularly regarding life safety systems and structural integrity.
