2200 Powell Avenue, Bronx, NY 10462

2200 Powell Avenue is a 5-story, 126-unit New Law Tenement building constructed in 1916, currently owned by Edwin Robles. The building has experienced significant maintenance and safety concerns in recent months, with multiple open and unresolved issues as of mid-2025. These include ongoing plumbing problems (water supply issues and sink basin maintenance), unsanitary conditions (with recent complaints about mold and pests), and various electrical and structural concerns. Between April and June 2025 alone, there were multiple complaints about paint/plaster issues, electrical problems, and plumbing concerns, though many of these complaints were closed due to either inspection access issues or subsequent corrections.

The building's more recent history shows persistent maintenance challenges. An December 2024 inspection of apartment A35 revealed multiple violations, including issues with hot water supply, water leaks, and problems with bathroom fixtures and finishes, though some violations were certified as corrected by early 2025. The property has experienced periodic issues with pests, as evidenced by multiple bedbug reports between 2020-2024, though most have been marked as eradicated. Historical data shows the building has weathered various compliance challenges, including missed inspection filings in 2023 that resulted in violations, though these were subsequently dismissed.

There have also been several past violations related to safety equipment, including missing smoke and carbon monoxide detectors in 2024, which were certified as corrected in early 2025. The building's maintenance record shows a mix of addressed and ongoing issues, with recent months showing particular challenges in obtaining access for inspections and addressing resident complaints promptly. Several maintenance requests and violations remain open or were closed without proper resolution, indicating potential ongoing maintenance access or communication challenges. The building has generally passed rodent inspections in recent years, suggesting no significant current concerns in this area, though a previous failure for "Other Reasons" was noted in 2010.
