2232 Light Street, Bronx, NY 10466

2232 Light Street is a three-story, three-unit building constructed in 1920 in the Eastchester neighborhood, currently owned by Cislyn Crisp. The building has experienced several significant maintenance and safety issues in recent years, with the most concerning being multiple electrical problems in early 2024, including power outages and lighting failures, which resulted in open violations as of March 2024. The property has documented issues with window frames, both recently in 2024 and previously in 2023, as well as various building maintenance problems including a roof leak, unsanitary conditions, and mold in 2023.

Notably, there has been a recurring pattern of pest infestations, with reported issues of roach and mouse infestations in multiple units in early 2024, though the building successfully eradicated bedbugs in late 2023. The building experienced significant infrastructure problems in April 2022, including a heat/hot water outage affecting the entire building, and various other maintenance concerns such as a fire escape issue and electrical problems, though no violations were issued after inspections. The property has undergone some recent improvements, as evidenced by the successful eradication of bedbugs across all units between late 2023 and early 2024, and the closure of several violations through remediation.

However, as of March 2024, there are still active violations relating to electrical systems, window repairs, and other building maintenance issues, suggesting ongoing maintenance challenges. Historical records indicate that the building has a history of pest control issues, with failed rodent inspections in 2009-2010, 2021 (three separate inspections), and various other maintenance concerns over the years. The most recent Bed Bug report from early 2024 indicates zero current infestations, though the building had experienced infestation problems previously. The building is classified as "HERETOFORE CONVERTED CLASS A," and while some improvements have been made, the recurring nature of various maintenance issues suggests ongoing challenges in building upkeep and resident comfort.
