2631 Schurz Avenue, Bronx, NY 10465

The 79-unit, 2-story building at 2631 Schurz Avenue in Throgs Neck, owned by Lukasz Stapor and built in 1978, has experienced significant maintenance issues in recent years that warrant attention. Most notably, between April and May 2025, there were multiple reports of heat and hot water outages affecting the entire building, with at least four separate incidents documented through 311 service requests and Housing Maintenance Code Complaints marked as emergencies. Additionally, there is an ongoing concern about electrical issues, with two power outage complaints in 2025 (one still open as of June 2025) and multiple building-wide outages in 2024-2025.

The building has also faced challenges with various systems, including a bee/wasp issue (April 2025) and sanitation concerns resulting in violations, particularly in Apartment B (2024) where there are open violations regarding mold conditions and leaky faucets. The property's mechanical systems have a documented history of significant problems, particularly with the boiler system. In late 2021, there were serious violations issued for the boiler room, including dangerous CO readings and multiple operational issues with different boiler units, which resulted in penalties totaling over $20,000. These violations remain active as of the latest reports.

The building has undergone several rodent inspections in recent years, with varying results. While all bedbug reports since 2020 show zero infestation cases, recent inspections have shown compliance failures that required attention. Multiple Housing Maintenance Code violations were issued following a September 2024 inspection, including required postings for gas leak procedures, smoke detector requirements, and other safety notices, along with issues relating to building entrance door self-closing mechanisms. The building's recent history suggests ongoing challenges with basic services like heat and power, as well as mechanical system maintenance and safety compliance that affect resident comfort and safety.
