1885 Billingsley Terrace, Bronx, NY 10453

1885 Billingsley Terrace is a 2-story, 3-unit residential building in Morris Heights, constructed in 1920 and currently owned by Harold Hooks. The property has experienced several significant maintenance issues over recent years, most notably with heating and water systems. In 2023, there was a water supply-related plumbing issue that was investigated but resulted in no violations, and in 2021, tenants reported problems with heat and hot water that were reportedly resolved shortly after inspection.

The building has ongoing compliance challenges, with open violations related to the failure to submit annual bedbug reports in 2021, 2022, 2023, and 2024. These administrative violations, while not directly impacting resident safety, indicate potential neglect of required documentation. The building's infrastructure maintenance record shows some systematic issues, particularly with heat and water systems, though the most recent service requests have been promptly addressed.

The property has undergone multiple rodent inspections between 2016 and 2025, with most recent inspections in 2023, 2024, and 2025 passing successfully, though there were three "failed for other reasons" results noted in 2016-2017. In late 2024, there was a building-related complaint about vacant and unguarded conditions that resulted in an Oath Violation being served in January 2025. While the building's recent history shows improved compliance with rodent inspections and prompt response to service requests, the ongoing bedbug report violation and historical heating/water issues suggest continuing maintenance challenges.
