2829 Ely Avenue, Bronx, NY 10469

The three-story, 24-unit residential building at 2829 Ely Avenue in Baychester, owned by Maria Germini, was constructed in 2008 and has experienced several notable maintenance issues over its history. Between late 2018 and early 2019, there was a concerning pattern of heat and hot water service complaints, with at least eleven separate incidents reported to the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD), some requiring inspections and resulting in violations.

A cooking gas-related emergency complaint was filed and resolved in August 2021. While the building has had two mobile food vendor complaints in 2022 (resolved in early 2025) and several bedbug-related violations noted in 2021 and 2022 that were subsequently resolved, the most recent bedbug reports (2023-2024) indicate no infestation issues, showing effective management of this particular concern. The building's maintenance record shows both persistent issues in its early years and more recent improvements in conditions.

The heat and hot water problems documented in late 2018 and early 2019 were significant, affecting multiple units, though these appear to have been addressed. The property passed a rodent inspection in 2014, demonstrating compliance with basic health standards at that time. As of the most recent reports (2023-2024), there are no active violations or reported pest issues, suggesting improved management and maintenance practices have been implemented over recent years, though potential residents should note the building's history of service interruptions and regulatory concerns in its earlier years.
