A two-family home carrying active hazardous code citations and missing municipal registration filings.
A two-family Bronx house with recent code citations and unresolved maintenance logs. The building carries 16 open code violations — including 4 immediately hazardous class C citations issued in April 2026 for mice, missing door hinges, and hot water over 130 degrees. Three things to know:
Four immediately hazardous class C violations were logged in April 2026. Inspectors cited the building in April 2026 for mice, defective self-closing entry doors, and scalding hot water exceeding 130 degrees in Apartment 3. The property also lacks a valid annual registration filing on file.
Heat and hot water filings cluster in spring 2026. A complaint in late March 2026 flagged a building-wide heat outage, while subsequent filings cited missing notices regarding key access to the heating system and basic gas leak procedures.
