1257 East 222nd Street, Bronx, NY 10469

1257 East 222nd Street is a 3-unit, 3-story residential building constructed in 2004 in the Edenwald neighborhood, currently owned by Elana Silberman. The building has experienced several maintenance issues in recent years, with the most recent complaints in October 2023 regarding heat and hot water problems. Significant plumbing-related issues are evident, including emergency water leak complaints (August 2023), and documented violations from November 2022 in Apartment 2 regarding water leaks, water damage, and caulking problems in the bathroom, though this particular violation appears to remain open as of 2023.

Multiple health and safety concerns have been reported, including pest infestations (August 2023) and mold (October-November 2022), with the latter occurring during a period when multiple complaints were filed regarding various building conditions including doors/windows, paint/plaster issues, and electrical lighting problems - though inspections for these complaints found no violations. The building has recurring administrative issues, with open violations from 2021, 2022, and 2024 related to the failure to file annual bedbug reports as required by Housing Maintenance Code. While there was both an initial failed inspection and a passed compliance inspection in 2014 regarding rodent conditions, there have been no documented pest violations since 2023.

Between 2022 and 2023, multiple HPD inspections were conducted for various complaints, with some requiring re-inspection due to inaccessible conditions. The building's maintenance history shows a pattern of water-related issues, both from leaks and sanitation concerns, though many complaints were resolved through HPD intervention. The most pressing current issues appear to be the open violations regarding bedbug reporting and the recent heat/hot water complaint from October 2023.
