2735 Barnes Avenue, Bronx, NY 10467

The 2-story, 4-unit residential building at 2735 Barnes Avenue in Allerton, owned by Lucille Cameron and built in 1931, has experienced several significant maintenance and regulatory issues over the past few years. Most notably, there are two open violations from 2022-2023 regarding lead paint hazard compliance requirements in the 2nd floor apartment (2FL), and one open violation from 2023 concerning lead paint documentation for 1st floor apartment (1F).

The building has also repeatedly failed to file the required annual bedbug reports, with open violations noted in 2023, 2024, 2022, and previous years. Safety issues have been documented, including a defective self-closing door at the building's street entrance in January 2023 (subsequently closed), and violations from March 2021 requiring the posting of heating system contact information and building registration details in the public hall. The building has undergone regular rodent inspections, with the most recent one in March 2024 resulting in a pass, indicating improved conditions.

However, there was significant rodent activity noted in late 2017, with multiple bait applications recorded between November 2017 and February 2018. The property has had minimal recent complaints through the 311 system, with only one paint/plaster complaint recorded in 2021, which was resolved with violations being issued. While some violations have been resolved and inspections have passed recently, the persistence of certain open violations related to lead paint and bedbug reporting requirements suggests ongoing management compliance challenges.
