2238 Light Street, Bronx, NY 10466

The three-story, three-unit building at 2238 Light Street in Eastchester, owned by Sol Paneth and constructed in 1920, has experienced numerous maintenance issues over the past several years, with particular concerns emerging in recent months. As of June 2025, there are two active HPD complaints regarding unsanitary conditions, specifically related to garbage/recycling storage and pest issues, both of which remain unresolved.

The building has a concerning pattern of heat and water supply problems, with emergency complaints logged in March 2025, January 2024, and multiple issues noted in late 2023. Significant violations were recorded in May 2023, primarily affecting apartment 4, which included problems with heat supply, roof leaks, cabinet repairs, faucet issues, and pest infestations, though these were generally addressed by June 2023. Earlier maintenance history shows various building system concerns, including plumbing and air quality issues.

While the building has maintained a clean record for bedbug infestations over the past four years, with zero units affected between 2019 and 2023, there were rodent inspection failures documented in 2015. The property has a history of complaints regarding unauthorized after-hours work in early 2019, though no violations were substantiated upon inspection. The most recent complaints from June 2025 suggest ongoing maintenance challenges, particularly affecting common areas and building systems.
