1012 East 212th Street, Bronx, NY 10469

The 2-story, 4-unit residential building at 1012 East 212th Street in Williamsbridge, owned by Barbara Broderick and constructed in 1928 as a "New Law" tenement, is currently facing multiple maintenance challenges as of July 2024. A July 17 inspection by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) resulted in violations across several categories, including unsanitary conditions related to pests (specifically cockroaches), window frame issues, wall problems requiring attention to paint and plaster, and multiple plumbing concerns including water supply problems.

The building has also been cited for several housing maintenance code violations that pose safety and compliance concerns: these include failures to post required notices regarding smoke detectors, carbon monoxide detectors, gas leak procedures, and building registration information in common areas, all of which are classified as Class A violations. Specific issues have been documented in Apartment 1F, including bathroom water leaks, multiple instances of defective plastered surfaces requiring repair, and an active pest infestation requiring abatement.

While the building previously passed a rodent inspection in February 2019 and has reported no bedbug infestations in the period from November 2022 to October 2023, these recent maintenance issues suggest significant quality-of-life concerns for residents. The most pressing current issues appear to be related to plumbing, pest control, and the building's overall maintenance compliance with housing codes, particularly regarding safety-related notifications and signage.
