1230 Metcalf Avenue, Bronx

A modern affordable building managed by Phipps Houses where internal noise and open code violations frame the main living friction.

Built in 2019, this 249-unit Soundview building operates under affordable housing programs managed by Phipps Houses. The housing record carries 10 open housing-code violations alongside a steady volume of internal noise calls. Three things to know:

Residential noise dominates the building's operational file. Residents filed 60 residential noise complaints over the last 12 months, predominantly for loud music, parties, and pounding. In a 2019 concrete structure of this scale, that volume points to specific living-line sound leakage or persistent weekend friction rather than isolated incidents.

Active Class C violations for roach infestations and broken hardware. The building carries 10 open housing-code violations, including 3 Class C immediately hazardous citations for roach infestations (most recently cited in May and June 2026). The remaining open items cover defective entrance door mortise locks, missing smoke and carbon monoxide detectors, and unaddressed kitchen mold.

Street-level curb conflicts and running hydrants surround the site. Within three blocks, neighbors filed 73 blocked driveway calls (mostly total access blockages) and 51 water system reports in the past year. The water reports feature 19 running hydrants and 13 potential water main breaks, signaling heavy street-level infrastructure wear around Metcalf Avenue.

Quieter signals on this building and the blocks around it:

• 10 open electrical and plumbing calls logged over the past year, with an open electrical issue in July 2026.
• 7 street-level encampment reports recorded within three blocks over the last 12 months.
