2713 Wallace Avenue, Bronx, NY 10467

The 2-story, 3-unit building at 2713 Wallace Avenue, currently owned by Kathleen Martin and classified as a "Hereafter Converted Class A" property, has experienced several notable maintenance issues since 2018. The most significant recent events include three heat and hot water-related complaints in 2021 and 2022, with one violation issued in July 2021 concerning inadequate hot water supply in 1R. The building's heating and hot water systems have been a recurring concern, with multiple 311 complaints between 2019 and 2022, two of which were classified as emergencies.

The property faced several electrical issues in 2019, including wiring problems, a power outage, and outlet/switch concerns, though investigations resulted in no violations for some complaints. Security-related violations were documented in 2018-2019 regarding illegal double-cylinder locks on various building entrances, though these were resolved by August 2019. Two significant developments emerged in July 2023, when complaints were filed regarding occupancy contrary to the certificate of occupancy and potential illegal conversion issues, specifically noting unauthorized modifications to the garage area.

The property has maintained good compliance with recent inspections, with a rodent inspection in March 2024 passing successfully, and no reported bedbug infestations in the most recent filings. The building has had multiple mandatory bedbug and rodent inspections between 2016 and 2024, with all recent bedbug reports showing zero infested units. Historical records show some pest control activity in 2016, but more recent inspections have indicated improved conditions. The property underwent a permit issuance for electrical work in November 2020, and while there have been various 311 complaints over the years, most have been resolved through inspections or repairs, with the exception of some instances where inspectors were unable to gain access.
