2900 Barnes Avenue, Bronx, NY 10467

2900 Barnes Avenue, a 4-story Class A residential building constructed in 1931 with 20 units, has exhibited recurring maintenance challenges in recent years under the ownership of Mps Realty Group Corp. The most pressing current issues include a heavy water leak and mold problems reported in May 2025, with violations issued by HPD. The building experienced multiple heat and hot water-related complaints throughout early 2025, particularly notable as these are critical building-wide systems.

While some complaints were resolved quickly, there were instances of HPD being unable to gain access for inspections. The property has faced various maintenance challenges over the past year, including pest control issues. Several violations were documented in late 2024, particularly in apartment 3B, involving both roach and mouse infestations, as well as concerns about excessively hot water.

Other infractions included problems with public areas, such as blocked stairs from discarded furniture (November 2024) and defective self-closing doors (July 2024). Historical data shows persistent rodent concerns, with multiple inspections between 2017-2022 indicating rat activity and the application of bait. However, the building has maintained a clean record regarding bedbug infestations, with zero reported cases over the past several years (2020-2025). While violations and service requests have been consistently addressed, the frequency of heat/hot water complaints and recent water-related issues suggest ongoing infrastructure challenges within the building.
