1 East 198th Street, Bronx, NY 10468
As of July 2025, 1 East 198th Street in Fordham is a six-story, 71-unit building constructed in 1941 and currently owned by Elez Haxhijaj. The building has experienced persistent maintenance issues in recent months, with multiple health and safety concerns emerging in 2025, including ongoing rodent activities and unsanitary conditions. Between May and June 2025 alone, there were multiple HPD violations recorded for various issues including water leaks, paint/plaster damage, and appliance concerns.
Notably, violations were issued for both wall and ceiling paint issues, and there were multiple complaints about water-related problems. The building has a history of rodent infestations, with inspections in 2025 (most recently in June) confirming rat activity. There are also open violations from a December 2024 inspection of apartment 1J, including issues with mold, lead-based paint, and an unauthorized alteration involving a floor-to-ceiling partition that obstructs natural light and ventilation. Earlier records reveal additional concerns, particularly related to building systems.
In 2024, there were multiple complaints about the boiler system, with several inspections resulting in "Oath Violation Served" decisions. Both 2023 and 2024 inspections documented elevator service issues, though these complaints were typically addressed promptly. Environmental Control Board violations from 2024 and 2023 indicate maintenance lapses, including problems with the boiler system and oil storage room conditions, though many of these violations were resolved or dismissed. The building has maintained a zero-reporting history for bedbugs since 2019, with no infested or re-infested units reported in any of the annual filings.
