511 West 232nd Street, Bronx, NY 10463

The 66-unit, 6-story building at 511 West 232nd Street in Kingsbridge, owned by Elizabeth Valentin, has experienced recurring maintenance issues over recent years, particularly related to water damage and mold. Most notably in 2024-2025, there were multiple complaints about water leaks (including heavy flow and damp spots) and mold problems, with some violations issued against the property, particularly affecting apartment W34. The building has also faced other significant maintenance challenges, including interior paint/plaster damage, air quality concerns, and window frame issues.

These problems have resulted in several emergency service requests, some of which required official violations to be issued, particularly during the October 2024 inspection period. The property's maintenance history includes a pattern of water-related issues, with multiple complaints about leaks in different parts of the building between 2024 and 2025. While some violations have been closed after repairs, such as those concerning the ceiling in W34, others remain open as of late 2024.

The building's infrastructure has been generally stable according to recent inspections, with no significant structural violations recorded since 2024. Importantly, there have been no bedbug infestations reported in the past five years, and recent rodent inspections show improved conditions, with only one violation noted in 2021 compared to three in 2018-2019. The building was constructed in 1937 and has maintained compliance with various regulatory requirements, though there have been occasional issues with timely reporting and maintenance of common areas, particularly regarding self-closing doors in the bulkhead areas.
