2132 Edenwald Avenue, Bronx, NY 10466

The two-family house at 2132 Edenwald Avenue, owned by Thomas Smith, has experienced significant maintenance challenges in recent years, particularly in 2024. Most notably, there have been multiple heat and hot water issues throughout 2023 and 2024, with emergency complaints filed in both the entire building and individual apartments.

In April 2024 alone, there were multiple complaints regarding heat/hot water problems, a water leak, plumbing issues, and paint/plaster concerns, some of which resulted in violations being issued. The building is currently facing several open violations as of June 2024, predominantly affecting the first-floor apartment. These violations include defective smoke and carbon monoxide detectors, pest infestations (roaches and mice), visible mold in the bathroom ceiling, and multiple issues with peeling paint and water damage requiring repair.

The building's maintenance history shows a persistent pattern of heat-related problems, with complaints recorded in December 2022 through April 2024, though some issues were reportedly resolved upon inspection. Recent inspections from June 2024 brought to light multiple new violations in the first-floor apartment, including problems with building systems (such as the need for repairs to various detectors), pest control issues, and water-related damage. The property, built in 1930 and located in the Edenwald neighborhood, has been classified as a 2-family house with two stories, and its current maintenance record suggests a building requiring significant attention to basic systems and environmental health standards.
