2538 Williamsbridge Road, Bronx, NY 10469

The three-unit residential building at 2538 Williamsbridge Road in Allerton, owned by Justin's Corner LLC, has experienced several significant maintenance issues over the past few years, with the most pressing concerns being heat and hot water availability. Between April 2023 and November 2023, there were eight documented complaints regarding heat and hot water issues in individual apartments, including four emergency complaints in October 2023 alone. While these complaints were generally addressed by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD), inspections often found that heat was not required at the time of inspection or that access to the apartments was not granted, with some residents reporting that conditions had been corrected before inspection.

The most recent complaint, regarding a refrigerator issue, was filed in May 2024 and closed in June 2024 without any violations being issued. The building, constructed in 2004, has also faced several regulatory compliance issues, as evidenced by a 2019 HPD inspection that resulted in multiple violations, including missing heating system access notices, self-closing door requirements, and mandatory signage about the building's registration number and housing information guide. These violations were certified as corrected by March 2019.

In terms of pest management, the building has demonstrated effective control over bedbug infestations, with no reported cases in the last two years (2022-2024) and only three eradicated units in the previous two (2021-2022) inspections. Rodent inspections have been satisfactory, with the most recent inspection in February 2023 resulting in a passing grade. The property has maintained its basic housing standards over time, with no active violations on record since 2019, though the recurring heat and hot water issues during 2023-2024 suggest ongoing infrastructure challenges that have affected resident comfort.
