249 Mt Hope Place, Bronx, NY 10457

At 249 Mt Hope Place, a three-story, three-unit residential building constructed in 1899 and currently owned by Terrie Green, significant maintenance and habitability issues have emerged over the past two years, particularly in 2024-2025. The building has experienced ongoing pest problems, with multiple complaints about infestations of roaches, mice, and bedbugs, particularly affecting Apartment 2 on the second story. Housing Maintenance Code violations from 2024 document C-class violations for rodent infestations, while several violations from 2024-2025 indicate non-compliance with pest management requirements.

The property has also faced maintenance challenges including plumbing issues (bathtub/shower), painting/plaster problems (ceiling), and window/door frame concerns, though many recent complaints resulted in failed inspection access. A notable violation involves inadequate heating and gas supply in Apartment 2, as well as self-closing door issues. The building's maintenance history shows a concerning pattern of unresolved and recurring issues, particularly regarding pests.

While initial rodent inspections from 2022-2024 consistently passed, the most recent inspection from July 2025 noted rat activity, suggesting a possible resurgence of rodent problems. Multiple complaints filed in late 2024 and 2025 regarding plumbing, pest infestations, and maintenance issues indicate a pattern of insufficient resolution. Despite numerous Housing Maintenance Code complaints, the response to inspections has often resulted in failed access or no violation found at the time of inspection. The building's certificate of occupancy and egress complaints from August 2024 were found to have no violations at the time of inspection, though there is an open bedbug reporting requirement from 2023 and other open violations regarding pest control from early 2024.
