2212 Lyon Avenue, Bronx, NY 10462

2212 Lyon Avenue is a 2-story, 4-unit residential building constructed in 1926 and currently owned by Mercedes Ruiz. The property has experienced recurring maintenance issues over recent years, with the most recent complaints in April 2025 regarding unsanitary conditions and pests. A notable pattern of heating and hot water problems emerged in 2021, with multiple complaints from February to March, though some were not able to be inspected due to access issues.

The building has also faced several violations and complaints related to pest infestations, particularly in 2021 when violations were issued for roach infestations, and there have been multiple pest-related service requests. In terms of infrastructure, there were violations related to the building's electrical system and intercom/buzzer system in 2021, which were addressed through inspections. The building's history includes significant concerns about illegal conversion to a 5-family dwelling in 2019, with the Department of Buildings issuing violations for unauthorized modifications including additional bathrooms and kitchen facilities in the cellar level.

While these violations were eventually resolved, they resulted in penalties totaling $5,030. More recently, there are open bedbug reporting violations from 2022-2024 requiring annual bedbug report filings, though the 2020-2021 reporting period indicated no infestations. The property has a mixed record on rodent inspections, with failures noted in 2019 though a compliance inspection in April 2019 passed. While many historical violations have been resolved, the building continues to experience periodic maintenance issues that affect resident comfort and building systems.
