529 East 235th Street, Bronx, NY 10470

The seven-story, 53-unit building at 529 East 235th Street in Woodlawn, built in 1938 and currently owned by 529 East 235th Street, LLC, has experienced several significant maintenance and compliance issues in recent years. Most notably, there are currently open electrical and door-related emergency complaints as of February 2025, indicating ongoing maintenance challenges.

Between October and November 2024, multiple violations were documented, including sanitary issues related to mold, plumbing problems in bathrooms and kitchens, and interior maintenance concerns such as paint and ceiling repairs. The building has also faced challenges with its elevator system, as evidenced by multiple complaints about single device operation and lack of alternate service in 2024-2025, with an active complaint as of May 2025 showing this issue persists. The property has recurring issues with mold and water-related problems, particularly in apartments 2D and 3E, which have been the subject of multiple violations throughout 2024.

Structural maintenance appears to be a significant concern, with multiple Department of Buildings violations regarding exterior wall inspections (FISP Cycle 8B and 9B) resulting in accumulated penalties exceeding $7,000. The building's rodent inspections present a mixed picture, with some passing results in 2023 and 2024, though there have been failures noted in 2020, suggesting ongoing pest management challenges. While the building has reported zero bedbug infestations in the past five reporting periods (2020-2024), the consistent pattern of maintenance violations and open complaints suggests ongoing challenges with building upkeep and timely repairs.
