1228 Rosedale Avenue, Bronx, NY 10472

Located in the Soundview neighborhood, 1228 Rosedale Avenue is a 2-story, 3-unit building owned by Luis Rodriguez and constructed in 1920. The property has experienced recurring heat and hot water issues over recent years, with confirmed complaints in 2019, 2021, and 2022, including multiple radiator problems and heating emergencies. In March 2019, several inspection requests were made regarding various building conditions including plumbing, flooring, and door/window issues, but inspectors were unable to gain access to conduct investigations.

The building faced notable maintenance challenges in 2019-2020, when multiple violations were documented in Apartment 1A, including issues with lead-based paint, a broken floor near a radiator, and a cockroach infestation, though these were subsequently addressed by 2021. Recent records show improved conditions regarding pest control, with no bedbug infestations reported in the past three filing periods between 2021 and 2024, and a passed rodent inspection in 2022. The building has consistently filed its required annual bedbug reports, with the most recent filing showing zero infested units.

However, in 2024, a violation was noted regarding the failure to file the annual bedbug report for 2023. An illegal conversion complaint was filed in late 2022, though inspectors were unable to gain access to verify the claims. The property has maintained a generally compliant status in recent inspections, with no major violations noted since 2024, though the building's history suggests previous systemic issues with heating systems, plumbing, and pest control that required ongoing attention from various municipal agencies.
