1201 East 229th Street, Bronx, NY 10466

The 6-story, 441-unit building at 1201 East 229th Street in Edenwald, owned by Herminio Torres and built in 1962, has experienced several significant maintenance issues in recent years. Most notably, there was a recurring pattern of heat and hot water problems throughout 2025, with multiple complaints between May and June regarding both building-wide and apartment-specific outages.

The building also faced plumbing issues, with complaints about sinks and toilets in June 2025, as well as problems with pests and unsanitary conditions during the same period. Apartment 4G has been the focus of multiple violations from late 2024, including issues with safety devices (missing smoke and carbon monoxide detectors), plumbing fixtures, floor tiles creating trip hazards, and window problems, though some of these have been marked as closed following repairs.

The building's infrastructure concerns extend to the elevator system, with multiple complaints about single-device service and lack of alternate service recorded between 2019 and 2024, with two active complaints as of December 2024. Additionally, there are several outstanding Environmental Control Board violations from 2022-2023 related to electrical equipment and boiler registration that remain active. The property has maintained generally good pest management records recently, with no bedbug infestations reported in the most recent filing period, though a rodent inspection from 2019-2020 had one failed result for "Other Reasons." Recent maintenance work appears to have been ongoing, with multiple permits issued between 2018 and 2020 for various repairs and improvements to the building's systems.
