2428 Matthews Avenue, Bronx, NY 10467
The 6-story, 38-unit New Law Tenement building at 2428 Matthews Avenue in Allerton, owned by Haxhe Celaj, has experienced recurring heat and hot water issues throughout 2023 and 2024, with multiple emergency complaints filed by tenants. The most recent incidents occurred in April 2025, November 2024, and September 2024, with varying outcomes regarding inspections and access. The building also received two unsanitary condition complaints regarding garbage and recycling storage in September 2024, though no violations were found.
A significant safety concern was addressed in January 2024, when violations were issued and subsequently certified regarding improper security measures at the second-story vestibule door, specifically relating to an unacceptable electromagnetic locking device and the need for a proper mechanical lock during power outages. The property's maintenance history shows attention to pest control, with consistent bedbug reporting from 2021-2024 showing zero infested units, and recent rodent inspections in 2024 and 2023 passing without violations. However, there was documented rat activity in July 2021.
The building has active Department of Buildings violations from December 2021 regarding the failure to display energy efficiency information, though previous benchmarking reporting issues from 2019 were confirmed as submitted. Historical violations include a steam leak at a radiator valve near the mailboxes in 2018, which was addressed. The building has successfully closed several violations over the years, though the recurring heat/hot water issues remain a persistent challenge for residents.
