1126A East 222nd Street, Bronx, NY 10469

1126A East 222nd Street is a two-family residential building located in Williamsbridge, built in 1950 and currently owned by Claudette Bell. The property has experienced several concerning incidents over the past decade, with the most recent significant event being a wiring-related electrical complaint in July 2022 that could not be inspected due to access issues.

The building has a documented history of access problems for multiple inspections between 2018-2020, including investigations into potentially unauthorized construction work, illegal plumbing, and an illegal conversion complaint, all of which had inspection attempts noting access denial or inability to gain entrance. The property's maintenance history shows recurring issues with pest control, including a rat sighting in 2019 and more recent rodent-related complaints, though a compliance inspection in 2017 showed passing results.

Indoor air quality concerns were documented in 2021 regarding chemical vapors or odors, with the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene issuing a letter to the property management. While there have been multiple complaints regarding electrical wiring issues (most recently in 2022), the Department of Housing Preservation and Development's inability to inspect these conditions raises concerns about potential ongoing maintenance access challenges. The building's permit and construction-related complaint history between 2018-2020 suggests possible unauthorized alterations or work, though inspections were unable to confirm these conditions due to access issues.
