2854 Wellman Avenue, Bronx, NY 10461

2854 Wellman Avenue is a 3-story, 22-unit residential building located in Schuylerville, Bronx, which was constructed in 1931 and is currently owned by Faton Nezaj. The property has experienced persistent heating and hot water maintenance issues throughout 2024-2025, with multiple emergency service requests filed in January and February 2025, though many were promptly closed after inspections or corrections were confirmed.

Significant violations include an open violation from January 2024 for excessively hot water (over 130 degrees) in apartment 5C, inadequate heat supply in apartments 4C and 5C, and locked access to the boiler room, which are consistent with the building's documented history of heat and hot water problems. Additional maintenance concerns were noted from 2021-2024, including the need for repairs to fire retardant materials and light-colored paint requirements in the third-story public hall stairs, though some violations from this period have been resolved. The building's maintenance record shows relatively good pest control management, with no reported bedbug infestations or related units reported from 2020 through 2023, and a passed rodent inspection in March 2019.

However, there is an active Department of Buildings violation from September 2024 regarding the failure to file the 2023 external low-pressure inspection. While the building's ownership has generally addressed violations when prompted, the recurring nature of heating system complaints suggests this remains a significant infrastructure challenge for the property. The most recent service requests in early 2025 indicate that while some heating issues are being addressed, there may still be ongoing concerns requiring tenant vigilance and reporting to authorities.
