2234 Light Street, Bronx, NY 10466

The 3-story, 3-unit building at 2234 Light Street in Eastchester, owned by Wayne Courtney, has experienced recurring issues with heat and hot water systems over the past several years. Between January 2023 and January 2025, there were multiple emergency complaints and violations related to these systems, with the most recent complaint in January 2025 involving the entire building's heat and hot water service, though HPD reported that the issues appeared to be resolved upon inspection.

The building currently has three open violations regarding failure to file annual bedbug reports from 2022, 2023, and 2024, which represent a Class A violation under the Housing Maintenance Code. Additionally, there are multiple active Department of Buildings violations from 2018-2023 related to failure to file the required external low-pressure inspections for the building's systems, with the most recent violation issued in September 2024.

The building has undergone several rodent inspections from 2009-2017, with initial inspections often resulting in failures for various reasons, though recent compliance inspections have shown improvements. While there was one bedbug-related filing for the 2019-2020 period showing no infestation, the current violations suggest compliance issues with reporting requirements rather than active infestation concerns. The building's history shows consistent heat and hot water system challenges, particularly affecting tenant comfort during winter months, along with some systemic maintenance oversights related to safety inspections and reporting requirements.
