1215 Woodycrest Avenue, Bronx, NY 10452

1215 Woodycrest Avenue is a three-story, three-unit residential building constructed in 1995, currently operating under a Temporary Certificate of Occupancy and owned by Mavis Mills. The property has experienced significant maintenance issues over the past two years, with the most recent concerns centered around electrical problems, including two incidents in July 2024 involving a power outage and lack of lighting, which resulted in open violations from the July 3, 2024 HPD inspection.

The building also faced multiple plumbing and heating challenges in late 2023, including radiator issues and heat/hot water problems in November 2023, along with unsanitary conditions related to pests that same month. There are ongoing security concerns, particularly regarding door and window maintenance, with several open violations discovered in November 2023 related to defective latches and door fittings in the second-floor apartment. The building has a history of compliance with rodent inspections, consistently passing annual checks from 2019 through 2025, suggesting effective pest control measures in place.

However, there are several open Housing Maintenance Code violations that require attention, including issues with electrical service, public area lighting, and refuse management as of July 2024. Additional concerns were documented in 2023 regarding door security and water heating systems, though many older violations have been resolved, including previous bedbug reporting requirements. While the building has generally maintained good rodent control standards, the recent spate of electrical and door security issues, combined with open violations related to common area maintenance, suggests ongoing challenges with building upkeep and safety systems that warrant attention.
