676 Nereid Avenue, Bronx, NY 10470

The 22-unit, 4-story tenement building at 676 Nereid Avenue in Wakefield, owned by Bekim Kransniqi, has experienced several significant maintenance issues over the past five years, with most concerns centered around basic utilities. Notably, there was an ongoing pattern of heat and hot water problems, with four separate complaints between 2020-2021, affecting both individual apartments and the entire building. Electrical issues were also recurring, with reports of power outages in 2020 and lighting problems in 2022.

The building has documented water-related issues, including a slow leak that resulted in violations in 2021, and separate violations related to a leaking roof affecting apartment 22. Multiple violations have been recorded regarding the need for proper door functionality and interior maintenance, particularly in apartment 22 where there were issues with door self-closing mechanisms, plaster surfaces, and paint uniformity. The building's management has maintained regular bedbug reporting, consistently showing zero infested units between 2021-2025, though there were three bedbug-related violations issued in 2022-2024 for failing to file annual reports.

The most recent records from May 2025 show no active infestations. While there have been some rodent inspection issues — the building failed an inspection in October 2022 before passing in December 2022 — overall compliance appears to have improved, as demonstrated by the most recent inspection results. The property has also shown regular maintenance of its violation status, with most issues being addressed and closed, though there are currently two open violations from 2020-2021 related to heating system access and hot water provision in apartment 1.
