2848 East 197th Street, Bronx, NY 10461

The 4-unit, 2-story building at 2848 East 197th Street in Pelham Bay, owned by Emily Feliz, has experienced recurring maintenance issues over recent years, with the most pressing current concern being an open plumbing water supply issue reported in April 2025. The property has a documented history of heat and hot water problems, with multiple emergency complaints recorded in 2019 and 2025, though some were resolved promptly following inspections. Between April and December 2019, several maintenance issues were documented, including water leaks, electrical problems, and unsanitary conditions related to pests, with some violations issued.

The building is subject to ongoing regulatory requirements, as evidenced by annual bedbug reporting, with the 2025 report showing no infestations. Notably, there are several open violations from 2019 concerning safety notifications and maintenance requirements, including the need to post carbon monoxide detector information, gas leak procedures, and maintaining appropriate signage about housing resources. The building has demonstrated compliance with rodent inspections, passing an initial inspection conducted in April 2019, and there have been no bedbug infestations reported in the most recent two annual filings (2024 and 2025).

The property, built in 1928, has experienced persistent infrastructure and maintenance challenges, particularly related to heating systems and plumbing, with multiple emergency complaints regarding these systems. The building's violation history indicates both immediate safety concerns (such as fire retardant ceiling issues) and administrative requirements (such as proper signage and notification postings) that remain unresolved, though some previous violations have been appropriately addressed. While there is no current evidence of pest infestation or bedbug issues, the frequency of heating system problems and ongoing maintenance concerns suggests that occasional resident discomfort or service interruptions may occur. The building's age and classification as a "New Law Tenement" suggest it may have historical architectural features typical of its period, though the data primarily focuses on maintenance and compliance issues rather than structural or aesthetic details.
