2279 Tiebout Avenue, Bronx, NY 10457

2279 Tiebout Avenue is a 16-unit, 4-story New Law Tenement building constructed in 1925, currently owned by Heng Ly and located in the Fordham neighborhood. The building has experienced several maintenance challenges recently, with a significant cluster of complaints filed on April 21, 2025, resulting in HPD inspections. These complaints included issues with mold (an emergency violation), plumbing problems, and an electric/gas range appliance issue, all of which received violations requiring correction. Other recent maintenance concerns documented in 2025 involved various electrical, sanitary, and structural issues, though inspections found some of these conditions did not violate housing laws.

The building has a history of maintenance violations and pest control challenges. Open housing maintenance violations from 2024-2025 include issues with floor tiles in apartment 2A, though previous violations from late 2023 were addressed, including repairs to a defective radiator in apartment 1B, self-closing doors in common areas, and various plumbing issues in apartment 4D. The property has undergone multiple rodent inspections from 2022-2025, with several showing rat activity and the need for bait application, particularly throughout 2024. However, the most recent rodent inspections in early 2025 resulted in passing grades.

The building has consistently reported no bedbug infestations in recent years, with all reports from 2019-2024 showing zero infested units. The property's maintenance record shows some improvement, with many past violations being resolved, though new issues continue to emerge. Recent inspections in 2025 and 2024 have resulted in various violations requiring owner correction, particularly regarding plumbing, electrical, and structural issues. The building's age and location are typical of New York's older multifamily housing stock, which often requires ongoing maintenance and repairs.
