2846 East 197th Street, Bronx, NY 10461

2846 East 197th Street is a three-story, three-unit residential building located in Pelham Bay and owned by Jeanette Persico, dating back to 1925. Recent inspections in September 2023 revealed several maintenance issues, with the most significant being concerns about lead-based paint hazards in Apartment 2 that remain open as of October 2023.

The building has also been cited for multiple housing maintenance code violations, including the need for proper carbon monoxide detector notifications, gas leak procedures postings, and various issues with door self-closing mechanisms across different entrances. Apartment 2 has been specifically identified as requiring multiple repairs, including window guard installations, ceiling modifications, and door maintenance, though many of these violations were subsequently certified as corrected by October 2023. The building's maintenance history shows consistent attention to pest control, with no reported bedbug infestations in the past five reporting periods from 2020 through December 2024.

Additionally, rodent inspections in 2018 and 2019 were passed successfully, indicating good general maintenance of common areas. The property has undergone some alterations that required legalization processes, particularly relating to acoustic ceiling modifications in both common areas and Apartment 2. While many recent violations have been addressed and closed, the open lead paint-related violations represent the most significant current maintenance issues as of late 2023.
