1252 West Farms Road, Bronx, NY 10459

The 5-story, 18-unit building at 1252 West Farms Road in the East Morrisania neighborhood, built in 1931 and currently owned by Jose Robles, has experienced several maintenance issues over the past three years. Most recently, in April 2024, a rodent-related complaint was investigated by the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene, though no violations were found. The building has had multiple complaints regarding door issues, with violations recorded in January 2023, and similar complaints in October 2022 and May 2022, though most were closed without violations.

Electrical problems were reported in October 2022 and January 2023, including incidents of no lighting, but inspections did not result in violations. A more serious complaint was filed in August 2020 regarding building shaking or vibration, which resulted in an Oath Violation being served. The Department of Buildings also received a complaint about work done without a permit in August 2022, though this was closed with no violations found.

Notably, there was a failure to file a required energy benchmarking report in May 2019, but this violation was dismissed by July 2019. On a positive note, the building has maintained a clean record regarding bedbugs, with all seven recent annual filings (through the most recent in December 2024) showing zero units affected or requiring treatment. The building's management has generally responded to complaints, with most issues being investigated, though it's worth noting that numerous complaints have been filed over the past three years, primarily concerning doors, lighting, and rodent-related concerns.
