742 East 222nd Street, Bronx, NY 10467

742 East 222nd Street is a 4-story, 8-unit residential building constructed in 2003, currently owned by Justin’s Corner, LLC. The property has experienced several maintenance issues in recent years, with the most recent complaints in 2025 primarily revolving around refrigerator problems (two separate complaints) and building-wide heating/hot water issues in early 2025.

Between 2024 and 2025, the building faced multiple quality of life concerns including unsanitary conditions related to pests and garbage storage (with at least one violation issued in August 2024), plumbing issues involving sinks (July 2024), and water leakage problems (April 2024). The fourth floor apartment (4F) has had multiple documented issues requiring attention, including problems with the refrigerator, plumbing fixtures, garbage storage, and various maintenance concerns such as mold, ceiling leaks, and door frame issues. Several safety-related violations were noted in 2024, particularly regarding the need for smoke detector and carbon monoxide detector repairs in apartments 3F and 4F.

The building's history shows attention to pest management, with no reported bedbug infestations in the past three years (2022-2025), and regular rodent inspections indicating a generally maintained environment, though earlier inspections in 2021 showed rat activity that required addressing. While the property has had its share of maintenance challenges, most violations and complaints have been addressed and closed, per HPD records. The building's bedbug reporting history shows consistent eradication efforts from 2019-2024, with no active infections reported in the past three years, suggesting effective pest management practices have been implemented.
