22 Elliot Place, Bronx, NY 10452

22 Elliot Place is a 5-story, 50-unit residential building located in Mount Eden, constructed in 1926 and currently owned by Mark Engel. The property has experienced ongoing maintenance challenges throughout 2024-2025, with multiple water-related issues documented through HPD complaints, including heavy water leaks in March and April 2025, as well as additional plumbing problems affecting bathtubs, showers, and toilets. The building has also faced various deterioration issues, with violations related to door/window conditions, paint/plaster concerns, and reports of unsanitary conditions including mold recorded in May 2025.

Apartment 4 has been particularly affected by multiple violations documented in mid-2024, addressing issues with roach infestations, water leaks, flooring problems, and various fixture repairs. The building's management has maintained regular rodent control measures, with inspections showing mixed results between 2023-2025, including periods of rat activity followed by successful compliance inspections. Bedbug reports from 2019-2024 indicate the building has experienced minimal infestation problems, with only two reported cases in 2019 and none in subsequent years.

The property has undergone several inspections and received various permits over the years, with work authorized for electrical and other repairs. Recent inspections in 2025 by the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene have generally found no violations, though numerous housing maintenance code violations have been issued, requiring the owner to address multiple ongoing repair needs. While some violations have been closed through completed repairs, others remain open or were only partially addressed, suggesting continued monitoring of building conditions may be necessary.
