2858 Miles Avenue, Bronx, NY 10465

The two-family house at 2858 Miles Avenue in Throgs Neck, owned by Lourdes Allen, has shown a pattern of maintenance issues over recent years, with the most pressing concerns emerging in August 2024. During this period, multiple complaints were filed and investigated by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD), including issues with paint/plaster, unsanitary conditions (including sewage and pest problems), electrical systems (power outage), and building entry systems (bell/buzzer/intercom). While all these complaints were closed with no violations issued, they indicate ongoing maintenance challenges.

Looking back, the building has experienced recurring heat and hot water problems, with complaints filed in 2023 and 2019, though the 2023 inspection was unable to gain access to verify conditions. The building's documented history reveals several Class B and C violations dating from 2018, primarily affecting the second-floor apartment, which encompassed issues with hot water temperature, floor repair needs, plaster and paint conditions, and roof leaks. Some of these violations were certified as corrected by December 2018, including repairs to defective floors, plastered surfaces, roof leaks, and a water closet connection issue.

Notably, all recent inspections regarding these complaints, particularly in 2024, resulted in no violations being found. The property's condition has shown some improvement, as evidenced by a rodent inspection from October 2019 that passed. Two pest-related complaints were filed in August 2024, suggesting this remains an area of concern, though the complaints were categorized as non-emergency. The building's age (built in 1930) and relatively small size (two units) may contribute to the frequency of these maintenance issues, which appear to be addressed through standard repair processes rather than escalating into serious violations or emergency situations.
