1240 Woodycrest Avenue, Bronx, NY 10452

The six-story, 47-unit residential building at 1240 Woodycrest Avenue in Highbridge, built in 1926 and currently owned by Domingo Claderon, has experienced recurring maintenance issues and violations over recent years. Most notably, there have been persistent problems with heat and hot water systems, with multiple emergency complaints recorded between late 2024 and mid-2025, including entire building outages in October 2024 and multiple individual apartment issues in late 2024-2025. The building has also faced electrical problems, including lighting outages in early 2025, and unsanitary conditions with reported pests, most recently in March 2025.

A recent rodent inspection in June 2025 indicated failed results for "Other Reasons," following previous rat activity findings in 2024-2025, although the building achieved some passed inspections in 2023. The elevator has been a recurring issue, with multiple complaints about its single-device service from 2020 through 2025, including an active complaint from February 2025. Recent environmental control board violations from 2024 highlight concerns about the building's exterior facade maintenance and elevator functionality, with penalties totaling $6,375 in 2024. The building's facade and elevator maintenance compliance has been problematic, with multiple active violations related to failure to submit required inspection reports and maintain proper safety features.

In terms of apartment-specific issues, unit 3F has been subject to multiple violations since 2022, including plumbing, water leak, and pest problems, while the building as a whole has had various electrical and sanitation concerns requiring multiple inspections and corrections. The property has maintained a clean record regarding bedbugs, with no reported infestations in the past six filing periods (2019-2025), though there have been concerns about other pest issues.
