271 East 198th Street, Bronx, NY 10458

The two-family house at 271 East 198th Street in Fordham, owned by Nelton Reyes, is a 2-story building constructed in 1901. The most pressing recent issue, occurring in May 2025, involved a heat and hot water emergency complaint that could not be inspected by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development due to access issues, resulting in the complaint being closed without resolution.

This marks the first heat-related complaint for the building in recent history, and the only unresolved complaint on record. The building's maintenance history shows impressive compliance with rodent control requirements, having passed nine consecutive rodent inspections from 2015 through 2024.

These inspections, all categorized as initial inspections, suggest consistent attention to pest management and indicate the building has maintained a safe and clean environment in this regard. However, the recent heat and hot water complaint represents the only significant maintenance issue recorded in the past decade, though the lack of access to perform an inspection was notable. The building's overall record, particularly regarding rodent inspections, demonstrates regular monitoring and compliance with housing maintenance standards.
