471 Brook Avenue, Bronx, NY 10455

The 6-unit, 4-story residential building at 471 Brook Avenue in Mott Haven, currently owned by Tina Washington, is a 1931 Old Law Tenement that has experienced several significant maintenance issues in recent years. Most notably, there are two pending violations regarding non-compliance with annual bedbug reporting requirements that have persisted since 2021-2024.

The building has also faced recurring plumbing water supply issues, with multiple emergency complaints filed between 2023-2024, though inspections did not result in violations. A concerning pattern of maintenance oversight is evident in the Department of Buildings records, with active violations related to the failure to file required external low pressure inspection reports spanning from 2018-2021 as of June 2023, and a boiler inspection report violation from 2019 that remains unresolved. The building has experienced intermittent heat and hot water issues, including a reported system failure in January 2019 that was reportedly resolved within three days.

While the property has maintained its rodent control compliance with passed inspections from 2010 through 2023, the persistent violation related to bedbug reporting and multiple open violations for inspection report failures suggest ongoing challenges with timely maintenance compliance. The property has undergone some repair work as indicated by a 2022 violation involving public hall walls and a self-closing door in Apartment 2A, both of which were subsequently closed. The building's documented history shows a mix of resolved and ongoing maintenance issues, with particular attention needed to the pattern of inspection compliance violations.
