2238 Adams Place, Bronx, NY 10457

2238 Adams Place is a 6-story, 54-unit New Law Tenement building constructed in 1926, currently owned by Nick Gazivoda and located in the Belmont neighborhood. The building has experienced numerous maintenance issues in recent years, particularly between February and June 2025, with multiple plumbing, heating, and appliance problems reported by tenants. Most notably, there is an open complaint regarding a refrigerator issue as of June 2025.

During the winter of 2025, there were significant problems with heating and hot water systems, affecting both individual apartments and common areas. Multiple plumbing issues were reported during this period, including problems with toilets, water supply, and radiators, though many of these complaints were closed after HPD inspections. The property has also faced several environmental and maintenance challenges between 2023-2025, including verified rodent activity throughout 2024-2025, with multiple inspections showing rat presence and bait applications. ECB violations from late 2024 indicate issues with building facade maintenance, including broken and cracked windows on the west and north elevations, resulting in financial penalties.

The building is currently showing signs of exterior maintenance neglect, with multiple complaints regarding window conditions and fire escape obstructions. There were also internal habitation issues noted in late 2024, including pest infestations (mice and cockroaches) in various apartments (notably 2D and 7E), along with other violations related to smoke detector functionality and lead paint hazards. Noteworthy is a pending violation for failing to file an FISP Cycle 9C Technical Report by February 2024. While there have been regular bedbug reports filed since 2019 showing zero infested units, the building's maintenance history suggests ongoing challenges with basic systems and environmental conditions that impact resident quality of life.
