1212 Gilbert Place, Bronx, NY 10474

1212 Gilbert Place, an 8-unit residential building constructed in 2014 in Hunts Point, has experienced persistent maintenance and pest control challenges over the past two years. The building has documented multiple reports of unsanitary conditions related to pests, particularly roach infestations, with the most recent complaints filed in December 2024. These complaints, along with issues related to ceiling paint/plaster damage in Apartment 4RR, resulted in violations being issued in late 2024, though records show these were certified as corrected by early 2025.

The building's safety systems also required attention, with violations noted for defective smoke detectors and carbon monoxide detection devices in 2024, all of which have since been addressed. The property has undergone several rodent inspections between 2022 and 2025, with mixed results. While recent inspections in March 2025 and June 2024 passed, previous years showed rat activity and required bait applications.

The building's maintenance history shows multiple 311 service requests, particularly during late 2024, including complaints about garbage/recycling storage and a door issue, though not all inspections were completed successfully. A Department of Buildings complaint regarding illegal hotel rooms was filed in September 2023, but the inspector was unable to gain access for verification. Notably, the building has maintained a consistent record of zero bedbug infestations in its official reporting from 2021 through 2024, and while there have been multiple complaints about unsanitary conditions, recent records indicate improved compliance with housing maintenance code requirements, as evidenced by the successful resolution of several violations in early 2025.
