2202 Strang Avenue, Bronx, NY 10466

The 2202 Strang Avenue property in Edenwald is a three-story, three-unit building constructed in 1899 and currently owned by Julian Walters. The building has experienced recurring maintenance issues over recent years, with particular concern surrounding an open violation regarding the annual bedbug report that has been active since 2021. The most significant cluster of problems occurred in August 2018, when multiple violations were documented across various systems including walls (both general and specific to painting), doors, stairs, and plumbing fixtures.

Some of these issues were classified as emergency situations, though particular attention should be paid to the emergency stair violation and general wall problems. The building's maintenance history also shows issues with a defective front stoop, vestibule walls, and plumbing fixtures, particularly in Apartment 2, which has had ongoing issues documented as recently as 2018. The property has experienced access issues for inspections, with multiple instances where inspectors were unable to gain entry, notably for a cooking gas complaint in August 2018 and gas utility referral follow-up in September 2019.

In 2018, there was also an illegal conversion complaint filed, though this was ultimately closed with access being denied to inspectors. While a permit was issued in August 2018 suggesting some attempt at addressing the building's issues, the persistent nature of bedbug reporting violations and various historical maintenance problems indicate ongoing challenges with the property's upkeep and maintenance compliance. The most recent documented inspections from 2022-2024 consistently relate to the bedbug report violation, suggesting this remains an unresolved compliance issue for the property.
