2271 Washington Avenue, Bronx, NY 10457

2271 Washington Avenue is a 14-story, 118-unit residential building located in the Belmont neighborhood and completed in 2008, currently owned by Ilsoo Kim. The building has experienced recurring maintenance and safety issues over the past two years, with the most recent concerns including pest infestations, particularly in June 2025, and multiple violations related to safety systems such as carbon monoxide detectors and sprinklers.

Housing Maintenance Code violations from late 2024 and early 2025 indicate problems with door security, ventilation systems, and various unit-specific issues including a hot water temperature violation in Apartment 7A. The building's elevator system has been a persistent source of complaints, with multiple service interruptions documented throughout 2023-2025, including several ECB violations for being out of service and creating hazardous conditions. While some of these elevator-related issues have been resolved, they indicate ongoing mechanical challenges.

The property has undergone several rodent inspections and treatments between 2023 and 2025, with mixed results showing both compliance and failures for "Other Reasons." Bedbug reports filed between 2018 and 2024 show intermittent infestations, with the most recent report from 2024 indicating one infested unit. The building's maintenance history reveals pattern failures to address various safety and maintenance issues, including missed inspections and compliance requirements, though some violations have been closed following inspection and correction. Additionally, there are active DOB violations related to the failure to certify corrections on immediately hazardous conditions and to file required FISP technical reports for exterior wall examination, suggesting potential ongoing structural maintenance oversight.
