6535 Broadway, Bronx, NY 10471
The 60-unit, 6-story residential building at 6535 Broadway in North Riverdale, owned by Eddie Espinal, has experienced several notable maintenance and safety issues since 2022. Most recently, in January 2025, there is an ongoing investigation by the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene (DOHMH) regarding construction lead dust in common areas. The building has faced multiple maintenance challenges in 2024, including ventilation issues (May 2024), various structural problems with ceilings, walls, and flooring, particularly in common areas and stairs.
An inspection in May 2024 resulted in violations related to broken fire retardant materials at the south section fire passageway, though this was certified as corrected by August 2024. The building's maintenance history shows recurring concerns with the fire escape system, including violations in 2024 regarding improperly secured components, and a 2019 issue with the drop ladder mechanism. There have been multiple inspections and follow-ups regarding stairway conditions and various structural elements, including a 2025 violation regarding water retention/ drainage issues that was found to have no citation warrant.
The property has maintained a consistent record of being bedbug-free over the past several years, with no reported infestations or eradications between 2019 and 2024. The building underwent a significant inspection regarding unauthorized alterations in 2023-2024, with a violation issued for removing a wall between apartments, resulting in a $1,250 penalty that has been resolved. While the property has experienced various maintenance issues, most have been addressed through the inspection and violation process, though some concerns, such as the lead dust complaint and certain structural violations, warrant ongoing monitoring.
