2925 Otis Avenue, Bronx, NY 10465

2925 Otis Avenue is a 2-story, 6-unit residential tenement building constructed in 1930, currently owned by Teddy Galatas and located in Throgs Neck. The building has experienced several significant maintenance issues in recent years, most notably recurring heat and hot water problems, with three documented emergencies in 2025 (April and February) and two in 2021. These heating system failures have required intervention from the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD), though records indicate prompt restoration of services following each incident.

The building has also faced multiple maintenance issues in August 2021, including problems with doors/windows, plumbing (toilet), and paint/plaster (affecting both cabinets and door frames), all of which were subsequently corrected according to HPD verification. Inspection records reveal that the building has maintained compliance with mandatory bedbug reporting requirements from 2021 to 2024, with no documented infestations during this period. Bedbug reports from 2022 and 2023 show zero infested dwelling units, and the most recent 2024 report confirms the same.

The building's only rodent inspection, conducted in October 2019, resulted in a passing grade. While the heat and hot water issues represent the most significant recurring maintenance challenge, the prompt response and resolution to these complaints suggests an effort to address building systems problems as they arise. The property has maintained its bedbug and rodent control compliance requirements, with no documented violations for these issues in recent years.
