2214 Lyon Avenue, Bronx, NY 10462

The four-unit, two-story tenement building at 2214 Lyon Avenue in Westchester Square, owned by Jose Valentin, has a mixed maintenance history since its construction in 1926. Most notably, there have been recurring violations related to bedbug reporting requirements, with violations issued in 2020, 2021, 2022, and most recently in April 2024. However, the most recent bedbug report for the period ending October 2023 indicates no infested units, suggesting successful eradication efforts.

The building faced several maintenance challenges in 2020, including an open Class C violation regarding self-closing doors in the entrance to apartment 2F, though this was eventually certified as corrected in July 2020. Other 2020 violations, which have since been closed, involved removing encumbrances in the boiler room and repairing defective fire retardant material at skylight walls on the second story. The property has undergone regular rodent inspections, passing in 2019 and July 2010, though it received a failed inspection in April 2010 for unspecified reasons.

A complaint regarding an alleged illegal conversion was filed in September 2020, but the inspector was unable to gain access during the final inspection attempt in March 2021, resulting in a closed status. While the building's maintenance record shows some persistent issues, particularly regarding bedbug reporting compliance, recent records indicate improvements in infestation management, with zero reported infested units in the most recent bedbug filing period. The property has also demonstrated compliance with rodent control requirements in recent years, passing inspections in 2019 and 2010.
