206 Willis Avenue, Bronx, NY 10454
The five-story, 8-unit tenement building at 206 Willis Avenue in Mott Haven, owned by Jacob Soleimani and constructed in 1931, has experienced several recurring maintenance issues in recent years. Most notably, there have been ongoing rodent control challenges, with consecutive rat sightings reported in 2025 (June and January) and multiple inspections showing rat activity between 2023 and 2025, despite bait applications.
The building has also faced heat and hot water system problems, with multiple emergency complaints filed between December 2024 and January 2025, some of which resulted in violations from the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD). Recent inspections and violations from December 2024 revealed multiple issues in Apartment 6, including non-working smoke and carbon monoxide detectors, electrical outlet problems, and various ceiling and wall maintenance needs. The building's common areas have seen violations regarding flooring and paint conditions, though some of these issues were reported as resolved.
Historical records indicate past concerns with electrical wiring, public hallway maintenance, and an ongoing pest control issue in Apartment 5 regarding mice, as of August 2024. The property has maintained a bedbug-free status over the past several reporting periods from 2021 to 2024, with no infestations recorded. While several permits for work have been issued between 2018 and 2022 for plumbing and electrical work, the building continues to experience recurring maintenance challenges, particularly regarding infrastructure systems and pest control.
