2462 Williamsbridge Road, Bronx, NY 10469

The two-family house at 2462 Williamsbridge Road in Allerton, currently owned by Josephine Kleng, has experienced several significant and concerning events over the past two years. Most notably, in 2023, the building underwent unauthorized modifications to its second floor, with the construction of full-height partitions, additional rooms, and a bathroom, along with associated electrical work, resulting in two Environmental Control Board violations with $2,500 penalties each for "Work Without Permit" and "Residence Altered" charges.

These unauthorized renovations led to subsequent complaints about illegal conversion, though the vacate order related to this issue was ultimately fully rescinded in May 2024. The Department of Buildings recorded several complaints in mid-2023 regarding construction enforcement, though inspections found no violations at that time.

More recently, as of September 2024, there is an active violation concerning the failure to file the 2023 External Low Pressure Inspection. On a positive note, the building has passed three rodent inspections since 2012, with the most recent successful inspection occurring in March 2023, suggesting effective pest management in recent years. The structure, built in 1930, is a two-story building originally designed as a two-family residence, although recent unauthorized modifications appear to have attempted to convert it into additional dwelling units.
