268 Robinson Avenue, Bronx, NY 10465

The two-family house at 268 Robinson Avenue in Throgs Neck, owned by Ju Liu, has experienced several notable issues since 2022, with the most recent concerns centered around electrical and plumbing problems. In late 2023, there were two significant incidents: a power outage in December that resulted in violations being issued by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD), and a plumbing issue involving a toilet complaint from late November that required emergency intervention.

Earlier in 2022, the building faced multiple challenges, including a heat/hot water issue affecting the entire building in December (an emergency situation that was promptly addressed), and a pest-related unsanitary condition complaint from late December that HPD was unable to inspect. The building has also been subject to multiple investigations regarding potential illegal conversions, with three separate complaints filed between June 2022 and May 2024, though in each case, inspectors were unable to gain access for verification despite multiple attempts.

While most of these issues have been resolved, the recurring nature of both systems problems (electricity and plumbing) and the repeated illegal conversion complaints suggest ongoing maintenance and access challenges at the property. Three of the four major service requests in this record required HPD intervention for resolution, and the most recent electrical issue in 2023 resulted in violations, indicating some persistence in building system concerns.
