258 Soundview Avenue, Bronx, NY 10473

The 9-unit, 4-story apartment building at 258 Soundview Avenue in Clason Point, owned by Peter Maris and constructed in 1931, has experienced recurring heat and water issues throughout the past three years, with three separate heat/hot water complaints in 2025, 2024, and 2022 that required emergency attention. Multiple HPD inspections were unable to gain access to the building for verification of these conditions. The building faced pest issues in 2024 and 2023, with both instances receiving non-emergency designations, and violations related to bedbug reporting requirements were documented in 2023 and 2024, though subsequent filings showed no infestations or eradications.

Significant maintenance concerns include an open Class C violation from 2022 regarding a malfunctioning door lock assembly at the first floor, and multiple building-wide heat/hot water complaints, with the most recent emergency complaint filed in April 2025. The property has documented infrastructure issues, including a Department of Buildings inspection in 2022 that revealed concerns with the front facade masonry, parapet wall condition, and vertical cracks, leading to a $3,125 penalty. Historical maintenance records from 2022 show multiple violations in Apartment 1B, including mold, window issues, smoke detector problems, and a pest infestation that were subsequently addressed through repairs.

The building's owners have maintained regular bedbug reporting compliance from 2021 through 2025, consistently showing zero infestation cases. While most violations have been resolved, two low-pressure inspection violations from 2020 and 2021 were dismissed in 2023. The building's maintenance history suggests ongoing challenges with building systems and access for inspections, particularly regarding heat and hot water service, though recent bedbug filings indicate effective pest management in the past two years.
