2556 Colden Avenue, Bronx, NY 10469

The five-story, 30-unit building at 2556 Colden Avenue in Allerton, owned by Prec Gjonaj, has experienced recurring heating system issues since late 2024 through early 2025, with multiple 311 complaints about heat and hot water problems affecting the entire building between December 2024 and January 2025. These emergency complaints were consistently addressed, with HPD confirming restoration of services in several instances, though some inspection attempts were met with access difficulties. The building underwent significant maintenance scrutiny in late 2024, with violations relating to water leaks and electrical issues in Apartment A being documented in December 2024, including problems with the ceiling in the bathroom and kitchen affecting multiple rooms.

Additional concerning issues emerged in June 2025, including complaints about mold, flooring conditions, and door issues, though these were subsequently closed. Historical data shows persistent concerns about the building's infrastructure, with active violations noted in 2023 for failure to file low-pressure inspections required under DOB regulations. The building has maintained a consistent record of bedbug-free status since 2019, with zero reported infestations in the past five years.

Rodent inspections have generally been favorable, with the most recent inspection in August 2024 passing without issues. Safety equipment compliance was verified in late 2024, with previous violations regarding missing smoke and carbon monoxide detectors in Apartment E6 being certified as corrected by January 2025. The property's heating system remains a notable area of concern, with recurring problems affecting resident comfort and requiring multiple emergency interventions by HPD.
