234 Willis Avenue, Bronx, NY 10454
234 Willis Avenue, a 5-story, 8-unit Old Law Tenement building constructed in 1931 in Mott Haven, currently owned by Luis Garcia, has experienced persistent maintenance challenges, particularly in recent years. The building has multiple open violations related to the failure to file annual bedbug reports for 2022-2024, as well as an active violation from 2019 regarding the failure to file the 2017 boiler inspection report.
Recent emergency complaints from late 2023 through mid-2024 indicate ongoing issues with plumbing (toilets and sinks), electrical systems (lighting), and safety equipment (smoke detectors), though inspectors were unable to gain access to verify conditions. The building previously faced heat and hot water issues in 2021, which were verified as corrected. Historical inspection records show recurring problems with lighting near the front entrance (2018), heating system access (2019), and one serious incident of inadequate hot water in apartment 2A (2019), though these were eventually resolved.
The property has undergone regular rodent inspections, with the most recent being in May 2023, which passed. Between 2016 and 2017, there were multiple instances of rat activity, though subsequent inspections have shown improvement in rodent control measures. While the building has seen some improvements in certain areas, the recurring nature of various maintenance issues, particularly those affecting basic services and safety systems, suggests ongoing challenges with building maintenance and compliance requirements.
