Belmont Blvd II Apartments sits at 2327 Southern Blvd in the Belmont neighborhood of the Bronx, offering 95 senior apartments in a six-story building that went up in 2003, and it's the kind of place where you'll find a variety of studio room layouts, basic amenities, and meals and dining options for residents who are sixty-two and older or have disabilities, with independent living as the main care type but also some services you might find in assisted living, memory care, or even short-term respite care for relief when a main caregiver needs a break, plus staff can help with daily activities and medication if needed, all of it designed to be family-friendly and with activities to help keep folks active.
The apartments are open to U.S. citizens or legal immigrants as long as household income is under 80% of the Area Median Income, and applicants must provide a Social Security number or ITIN, but there are restrictions since they won't accept anyone with certain felony drug convictions, offender registrations, or people who've had evictions from public or Section 8 housing in the last three years, so you do need to meet some pretty clear eligibility rules to move in, and federal HUD programs help subsidize the rents.
The place has had its share of issues, with 2 reported bedbug infestations, 1 rat problem found during city inspections, and several complaints-five calls to 311 and over 250 housing complaints logged-and you might notice that 73 evictions have been recorded here, which is a lot for one building, and there have been 649 official violations alongside 74 violations by the Environmental Control Board, and even though the building currently doesn't have any open code violations or active repair and vacate orders, it's been flagged in city programs like the Alternative Enforcement Program and has gone through landlord-tenant court.
AI predicts a strong chance the building won't see major maintenance trouble in the next year, about 89% likelihood, but it does have a risk rating that puts it in the riskiest 10% of buildings in Belmont, so it's a mixed picture, and the building isn't rent-stabilized, so rent control rules don't apply. Still, people say the community tries to stay friendly and welcoming, and it offers some basics like help with daily routines, personal care, meals, room features, activities, and health care services tailored to seniors, so for those looking for independent or assisted living with support, Belmont Blvd II Apartments does offer options worth considering, but it's important to know about the history and the rules before making any decisions.
