2265 Westchester Avenue is a 22-unit, 3-story residential building constructed in 1965, currently owned by Manuel Garcia. The property has experienced recurring maintenance issues throughout 2023-2025, with particular concerns around water and heat systems. Most recently, there have been multiple heat/hot water complaints in May 2025, with one still open as of late May 2025. The building has documented several water-related issues, including leaks affecting units 2C and 2H, which were confirmed during inspections.

Other notable violations include electrical problems, sanitary concerns, and plumbing issues, with several violations issued that required the owner to make corrections. Between 2023-2024, the building faced multiple safety-related concerns, including a defective fire escape ladder, missing window guards, and various unit-specific violations related to water, electrical, and security systems. The building has undergone rodent inspections in recent years, with the most recent (April 2024) passing, following a history of failed inspections in 2019. Bedbug reports from 2019-2023 show no infestations, with all units reporting zero instances.

The property management has attempted to address various maintenance issues, as evidenced by the closing of several complaints, though some remain open. Historical data shows consistent reporting of maintenance issues, though there has been some improvement in recent years, particularly regarding pest control. A rooftop emergency complaint filed in 2025 was also resolved. The building's history suggests ongoing maintenance challenges, particularly with water systems and unit-specific issues, requiring regular attention from property management and regulatory agencies.
