1320 Oakley Street, Bronx, NY 10469

The two-story, three-unit residential building at 1320 Oakley Street in Williamsbridge, owned by Chibueze S Okoroafor and constructed in 1910 as a New Law Tenement, presents several noteworthy issues from the past four years. The most significant ongoing concern involves recurring violations related to bedbug reporting requirements under the Housing Maintenance Code, with four consecutive open violations noted between 2021 and 2024, indicating the owner has failed to file the necessary annual bedbug reports as mandated by HPD regulations.

These violations, while administrative in nature, suggest potential deficiencies in the building's pest management oversight. More recently, in early 2025, an active complaint was filed regarding illegal commercial or manufacturing use in a residential zone, though inspection results and disposition are still pending as of July 2025.

This complaint, if substantiated, could indicate improper use of the property contrary to its residential designation. On a positive note, the building successfully passed a rodent inspection in late 2018, suggesting compliance with basic sanitation requirements at that time. While the bedbug reporting violations are the most persistent issue on record, the age of the building (115 years old as of 2025) and its classification as a New Law Tenement should be considered when evaluating its historical maintenance record.
