422 East 159th Street, Bronx, NY 10451
422 East 159th Street is a 3-story, 3-unit residential building constructed in 2001, currently owned by Doreen Parchment. The building has experienced recurring issues with heat and hot water systems, with multiple emergency complaints filed between 2021 and 2023, affecting both individual apartments and the entire building. While several of these complaints resulted in inspections by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD), most were closed without violations, though some inspections in 2021 did yield violations related to heating system access.
Other maintenance issues noted in 2021 included problems with plumbing fixtures (bathtubs, sinks, and radiators) and a smoke detector, with corresponding violations issued. The building has recent historical concerns about bedbug reporting compliance, with open violations from 2023 and 2024 regarding failure to file annual bedbug reports as required by HPD regulations. A rodent inspection in March 2023 found rat activity, though a subsequent May 2023 compliance inspection passed. The most recent inspection in April 2024 revealed three open violations, including issues with self-closing doors at both the building entrance and apartment C, while earlier violations from December 2021 and June 2021 remain open regarding heating and plumbing issues in apartment 2B.
Recent inspections show improved rodent compliance and fewer urgent maintenance issues compared to previous years, though multiple open violations persist regarding bedbug reporting and door mechanisms. The building's heating and plumbing systems have been a consistent source of tenant complaints and HPD inspections, with varying degrees of successful resolution. It's worth noting that while many complaints resulted in inspections, not all resulted in formal violations, and many were closed relatively quickly, suggesting responsive management to tenant concerns, though sometimes with ongoing issues. The building's inspection history shows a pattern of maintenance issues primarily concentrated in 2021-2022, with fewer complaints reported in 2023-2024 compared to earlier years.
