1249 College Avenue, Bronx, NY 10456
The two-story, two-unit residential building at 1249 College Avenue in Concourse Village, owned by Miriam Kyei and constructed in 1905, is currently experiencing multiple significant maintenance issues as of May 2025. There are seven open complaints filed in May 2025 with the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD), including concerns about unsanitary conditions (pests), appliance problems (electric/gas range), wall maintenance (paint/plaster), plumbing issues (basin/sink and bathtub/shower), a door problem, and building-wide heat/hot water concerns. Most of these complaints have been designated as non-emergency, except for the heat/hot water issue which is classified as an emergency.
The building has a concerning history of compliance issues, particularly regarding unauthorized modifications and bedbug reporting requirements. Multiple Environmental Control Board (ECB) violations from 2021-2022 relate to failure to comply with commissioner orders and proper filing of documentation, with penalties totaling over $10,000, though many of these have been resolved. The building has also been subject to several bedbug reporting violations between 2021-2024, with the most recent inspection in 2022 showing no infested units. While rodent inspections in 2023-2025 have passed, there were two failed inspections in 2022 regarding other reasons.
Historical records show previous issues with heat/hot water systems in both 2018 and 2023, though these complaints were closed after inspections. The building's most recent power outage complaint from 2023 was also closed without violations being issued. Of particular note, there were multiple complaints and violations in 2021 regarding unauthorized construction work in the cellar area, including the installation of partition walls, bathroom, and kitchen modifications, which were determined to have been done without proper permits. The building's bedbug reporting compliance has shown inconsistent attention, with violations noted in 2021-2022 despite the 2022 report showing zero infested units.
