828 East 222nd Street, Bronx, NY 10467

The three-story, three-unit residential building at 828 East 222nd Street in Williamsbridge, owned by Kelton Johson and constructed in 1925, has experienced recurring maintenance issues over recent years, with the most significant problems arising in 2025. The property has faced multiple urgent complaints regarding building-wide heat/hot water issues and water supply problems between January and February 2025, resulting in multiple emergency responses from the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD).

A concerning series of violations emerges from 2024-2025, including an open violation related to annual bedbug reporting requirements from 2021-2024. The building's maintenance history shows persistent infrastructure challenges, particularly during early 2019 when multiple violations were documented in Apartment 2, including issues with electrical fixtures, plaster surfaces, electrical outlets, bathroom faucets, and plumbing problems. The most recent service requests indicate ongoing systemic issues, with several HPD inspections in early 2025 being either incomplete or resulting in multiple violations that require correction.

While some complaints have been closed following inspections, including one regarding cooking gas that resulted in violations, others remain unresolved or have required tenants to re-file complaints for proper inspection access. The building has demonstrated variable compliance with rodent inspections, passing in November 2022 but failing in September 2022 for unspecified reasons. The pattern of emergency complaints, particularly regarding heat/hot water and water supply issues, suggests a building with aging infrastructure that presents ongoing challenges for tenant comfort and safety.
