859 East 227th Street, Bronx, NY 10466

859 East 227th Street is a 4-story, 16-unit residential building constructed in 1957, currently owned by 859 E 227th Street, Inc. The property has experienced several significant maintenance issues over recent years, most notably a building-wide heat and hot water problem reported in November 2018, which was resolved within one day following HPD intervention. There has been a recurring requirement for bedbug reporting compliance under Housing Maintenance Code (HMC) regulations, with violations noted in 2024, 2023, 2022, and 2021 regarding the annual bedbug report filing requirement.

The building's bedbug report filings show one documented infestation in 2021 that was treated, while periods from 2020-2021 and 2019-2020 showed no infestations. A rodent inspection conducted in October 2022 resulted in a passing grade. Two Department of Buildings permits were issued in August 2018, though the specific nature and resolution of these permits are not detailed in the available records.

As of now, the most pressing open violation pertains to the bedbug reporting requirement from April 2024, while the building has generally maintained compliance with other major housing codes and regulations. The property has a history of being responsive to urgent complaints, as demonstrated by the prompt resolution of the 2018 heat/hot water issue, though the recurring bedbug reporting violations suggest some administrative oversight challenges. The building's age and its classification as a New Law Tenement indicate it is subject to specific regulations governing rent stabilization and building maintenance standards.
