2714 Barnes Avenue, Bronx, NY 10467

The four-unit residential building at 2714 Barnes Avenue in Allerton, owned by Ramrajie Paul, is a two-story structure built in 1931 and currently classified as a Class A building. The property has experienced recurring issues with heating and hot water systems, particularly evident in January 2025 when both entire-building and apartment-specific heating problems were reported through 311 complaints, though these were subsequently resolved according to HPD records.

There was also a garbage/recycling storage issue reported in early 2025, which HPD investigated but determined did not violate housing laws. The building has maintained a clean bedbug record for the past four reporting periods (2021-2025), with no infestations or related issues documented. Additionally, recent rodent inspections in 2012, 2017, 2022, and 2024 all passed, indicating effective pest control measures.

The property's history includes three consecutive bedbug reporting violations from 2021 to 2023, requiring the owner to file annual reports as per HPD regulations, though these were ultimately resolved. In 2018, there was a violation related to an unpermitted sidewalk curb cut at the property's front, resulting in an Environmental Control Board violation for failure to maintain building code compliance, though this was also resolved with no penalties. While the building has experienced periodic heating system challenges, particularly in recent years, the prompt response and resolution of these issues, along with the building's demonstrated success in maintaining bedbug-free status and passing rodent inspections, suggest active management of building maintenance concerns.
