2221 Haviland Avenue, Bronx, NY 10462

2221 Haviland Avenue is a three-story, three-unit residential building constructed in 1915 and currently owned by Delfina Matera. The building has experienced several notable events over the past few years, with the most recent being open violations from 2023 and 2024 related to the failure to file annual bedbug reports, a requirement under the Housing Maintenance Code. The building underwent a concerning heat and hot water emergency in December 2019, though inspectors were unable to gain access to confirm the conditions at that time.

While there have been multiple rodent inspections, most recently in 2020, the building has generally passed these inspections, with only one failure noted in April 2019. A dog-related complaint was investigated by the Department of Health in March 2020 but was closed with no violations found. The bedbug situation in the building appears to have been managed effectively, with the official report for the period of November 2020 to October 2021 showing no infested dwelling units and confirming the eradication of three units.

However, the four consecutive annual bedbug report violations from 2021 to 2024 indicate an ongoing issue with compliance rather than active infestations. The building's inspection history shows generally good maintenance practices regarding pests and sanitation, with all rodent inspections since 2018 passing, except for the one noted failure, and no significant health code violations recorded in recent years. The property has also maintained its classification as a "Heretofore Converted Class A" building, indicating its current use as a legally established multiple dwelling with three separate units.
