AI summary · updated June 2026

The 7-unit residential building at 2523 Barnes Avenue in Allerton, owned by Driton Lokaj, has experienced significant heating system challenges in 2024. Between February 4 and March 9, 2024, there were eleven heat and hot water-related complaints through 311, including nine classified as emergencies. Two of these incidents resulted in Housing Maintenance Code violations: one on February 4 for inadequate heat supply (Class C) and one on February 12 for both inadequate heat and hot water exceeding 130 degrees (also Class C). The building's heating system access was a recurring issue, with violations noted in both February and March 2024 for locked boiler room doors.

The building has maintained a pest-free record in recent years, with official reports showing no bedbug infestations between 2020 and 2023, and a passed rodent inspection in February 2023. While the heat and hot water issues in early 2024 were promptly addressed and closed by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD), with some violations corrected during inspections, they represent the most significant maintenance concerns in the building's relatively short history since its construction in 2013. Regular bedbug and rodent inspections conducted from 2020-2023 show no infestations or pest problems, suggesting effective maintenance practices in this regard.
