306 Willis Avenue, Bronx, NY 10454

The 5-story, 10-unit building at 306 Willis Avenue in Mott Haven, owned by Willis Avenue Housing LP, has experienced several maintenance issues in recent years, though the situation appears to be stabilizing. Most notably, in early 2024, there was a documented rodent infestation in apartment 4D, which was certified as resolved in March 2024. The building faced multiple violations in March 2022 involving apartment 5D, requiring attention to multiple doors and interior issues, including repairs to defective doors and fire-retardant materials in public areas, though these violations were subsequently closed in April 2022.

The property has maintained a good record with respect to bedbug infestations, with reports from 2020 through 2024 showing zero infested or re-infested units in each reporting period. Recent concerns include two open violations from September 2024 regarding the failure to file the 2023 external low-pressure inspection, and a Local Law 188/17 compliance inspection in March 2023 that resulted in no violations being found. The building's maintenance history shows a pattern of addressing various interior and common area issues, particularly in 2022 when multiple violations were documented for repairs needed in unit 5D and common areas.

Since then, there has been a noticeable reduction in housing maintenance code violations, with no reported violations in 2023-2024 except for the recent low-pressure inspection issue. The property has consistently passed rodent inspections dating back to 2010, with the most recent being conducted in May 2023 showing compliance. The absence of bedbug infestations since 2020 suggests effective pest management practices are in place. While there have been multiple violations in recent years, most have been addressed and closed, though the building will need to rectify the currently open violations related to the low-pressure inspection filing.
