2247 Hughes Avenue, Bronx, NY 10457

2247 Hughes Avenue is a 4-story, 8-unit "New Law Tenement" building constructed in 1931 and currently owned by Abraham Pollak. The property has experienced recurring heating and hot water issues, with three separate complaints in late 2023 and late 2024, though HPD inspections confirmed restoration of services in most cases. A significant cluster of complaints in December 2023 resulted in multiple violations, including issues with window guards, mold, door frames, and floors.

The building's maintenance history shows particular concern regarding exterior conditions, with an ECB violation issued in November 2023 noting deteriorating walls and peeling stucco that resulted in a $625 penalty. There are also active violations related to the failure to file external low-pressure inspections between 2019-2021, with potential penalties totaling $17,530. In 2023-2024, the property faced multiple safety and maintenance challenges, including problems with window guards, floor conditions, and various unspecified issues requiring attention from the building's janitorial staff.

The building has maintained a record of compliance with bedbug reporting requirements, consistently reporting zero infested units since 2022. Recent rodent inspections show mixed results, with the most recent inspection in June 2025 failing for "Other Reasons." The property has active violations related to a 2019 occupancy issue suggesting potential unauthorized use of a fourth-floor unit, and there are multiple open ECB violations from 2019 related to building maintenance and occupancy matters, with total penalties amounting to over $22,000. The building's plumbing system has also been a point of concern, with a stop work order issued in July 2024 pending resolution of the master plumber's license suspension.
