2760 Barnes Avenue, Bronx, NY 10467

The 2760 Barnes Avenue building, a two-story New Law tenement constructed in 1931 and currently owned by Youssef Abdulader, has experienced recurring maintenance issues over recent years, with particular concerns in the 2019-2020 period. The most significant persistent problems during this time included multiple emergency heat and hot water outages affecting both individual apartments and the entire building, with several complaints requiring investigation and violation issuance by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD).

Additionally, there were multiple complaints regarding unsanitary conditions and pest infestations, specifically involving cockroaches and rodents, with violations issued in late 2019. The building's maintenance records show ongoing concerns with pest management, as evidenced by multiple open violations regarding annual bedbug reporting requirements in 2021-2024, though recent rodent inspections from 2022, 2024, and earlier have all passed. The property's violation history indicates numerous maintenance issues requiring attention, including open violations from 2020 related to an infestation in Apartment 1B (involving both mice and roaches), as well as various repair needs including plaster surfaces, floor defects, and kitchen maintenance requirements.

Two significant concerns were documented in December 2019 relating to gas safety and housing information guide postings in public areas, though the specific resolution status of these violations is not detailed in the available records. While some improvements appear to have been made, as suggested by recent passed rodent inspections, the presence of multiple open violations regarding bedbug reporting requirements in 2021-2024 indicates ongoing compliance issues with housing maintenance code requirements. The building's documented history from 2011 to 2019 shows a pattern of pest-related issues, with rat activity reported in multiple inspections in 2011-2012, though this appears to have been addressed in subsequent years based on recent inspections.
