2220 Adams Place, Bronx, NY 10457

The 16-unit, 5-story residential building at 2220 Adams Place in the Belmont neighborhood, owned by Brian Lefkowitz, has experienced several concerning maintenance issues in recent years, particularly during 2024 and 2025. Most notably, Apartment B2 appears to be experiencing significant ongoing problems, with multiple open violations as of November 2024 including issues with lead-based paint, mold (greater than 10 sq. ft. in bathroom), rodent infestation, interior surface conditions requiring repair, and door security problems.

The building has a mixed track record of rodent activity, with the most recent inspection in June 2025 resulting in a failure, while previous inspections in 2024-2023 showed both passing and rat activity results. Between September 2024 and November 2024, there were multiple complaints and violations documented, including issues with plumbing, water leaks, wall conditions, doors, and mold. The property also has an active Department of Buildings violation from 2020 related to work being conducted without proper permits. The building's maintenance history shows a pattern of recurring problems, particularly in 2024, with multiple HPD complaints about unsanitary conditions, mold, water leaks, and door/window issues.

Although some complaints were resolved through inspections, several violations remain open, particularly those from November 2024. The property has consistently reported zero bedbug cases in recent filings from 2022 to 2025. While some issues have been addressed through inspections and violations, the frequency and nature of the problems suggest ongoing maintenance challenges at this 1931-built tenement property. The building appears to have been subject to multiple inspections and work orders, with varying results regarding compliance and resolution of identified issues.
