2953 Barnes Avenue, Bronx, NY 10467

2953 Barnes Avenue is a 4-story, 16-unit residential building constructed in 2017 and currently owned by Egris Haxhari. The property has experienced recurring heat and hot water issues, with six documented complaints between January and April 2021, including both building-wide and individual apartment outages. These complaints resulted in multiple violations, particularly affecting apartment 1C, where the heating system and control units were found to be inadequate or defective, with open violations remaining as of 2021.

The building has maintained an active bedbug prevention program, with zero reported infestations in the past four filing periods from 2021 through 2024, consistently showing erradicated counts of 0. Regular rodent inspections conducted in 2017, 2022, and 2013 all passed, indicating no rodent issues. The Department of Buildings records show routine inspections and some complaints between 2018-2020, primarily focusing on sustainability and unlicensed activity, though none resulted in violations.

Multiple permits were issued in 2018-2019 for various work, suggesting proper documentation and regulation compliance during the building's early years. While the building experienced significant heating system challenges in 2021, the absence of recent heat/hot water complaints and the consistent bedbug reporting compliance over the past two years may indicate improved maintenance standards. The property has required various repairs and improvements over its lifetime, with particular attention needed to the heating system based on historical complaints and violations.
