11 East 199th Street, Bronx, NY 10468

11 East 199th Street is a 5-story, 27-unit residential building in Fordham, constructed in 1923 and currently owned by Etem Haxhaj. The building has experienced significant maintenance issues in recent years, with multiple complaints and violations recorded. In 2023 alone, there were multiple complaints regarding doors, windows, lighting, plumbing, flooring, and unsanitary conditions, though many of these complaints were closed due to lack of access for inspection.

A notable cluster of violations was documented in 2023, particularly affecting apartment 1G, including issues with smoke detectors, carbon monoxide detectors, electrical systems, walls, floors, and radiators, all of which were certified as corrected by late 2023. The building's history shows recurring problems with electrical systems, plumbing, and pest management, including multiple HPD violations and rodent activity recorded in 2023 and 2024. Previous years' records show additional concerns, including boiler issues in 2022 that resulted in ECB violations related to missing safety equipment and various maintenance deficiencies. The building experienced structural concerns in 2021, with a complaint regarding building vibrations leading to violations.

Despite these issues, the property has maintained a clean bedbug record since 2021, with no reported infestations in recent years. The most recent rodent inspections in 2024 indicated ongoing pest control efforts, with bait applied in multiple inspections throughout the year. The property has also faced challenges with compliance and inspection access, as evidenced by multiple complaints being closed without resolution due to lack of inspection access. While many violations and complaints have been addressed through certification of corrections, the recurring pattern of maintenance issues suggests ongoing challenges with building upkeep and resident services.
