226 West Tremont Avenue, Bronx, NY 10453

226 West Tremont Avenue is a 49-unit, 6-story Class A residential building constructed in 1932 and currently owned by Cap 226 Tremont Ave Property Owner LLC. The property has experienced persistent heat and hot water issues throughout 2025, with multiple complaints filed between February and April 2025, affecting both individual apartments and the entire building. While some of these complaints showed temporary resolution, several remained open or resulted in HPD inspections finding no violations.

The building has also faced electrical challenges, evidenced by a power outage complaint in March 2025 and an electrical wiring violation in January 2025. Recent Housing Maintenance Code violations from June 2025 indicate various maintenance issues, including water leaks, mold, and problems with flooring/stairs and paint/plaster. Specifically, apartments 4C and 6H have multiple open violations, including issues with plastered surfaces, window guards, and bathroom fixtures.

The building's exterior has been a point of concern, with active ECB violations (as of August 2024) regarding facade maintenance, including a broken first-floor window, deteriorated mortar joints, spalling bricks, and improper AC unit support. Additional violations relate to elevator maintenance, with problems documented in 2023-2024 regarding backup service and hoist ropes. The property has experienced rodent activity, with multiple inspections throughout 2023-2025 indicating persistent issues requiring bait application. While there have been no reported bedbug infestations since 2020, and various interior violations appear to have been addressed, the building continues to face ongoing maintenance challenges, particularly regarding basic services like heat and hot water, affecting resident comfort and safety.
