A two-family Bronx house carrying seven open interior code violations alongside active block-level commercial and parking friction.
A two-family home in the Bronx where recent interior repair citations meet commercial venting and parking pressure nearby. The property carries seven open code violations concentrated in the top apartment alongside recurring trash calls. Three things to know:
Seven open code violations hit the second-floor unit in a single day. Seven open housing-code citations were issued for the second-floor apartment in June 2026. The notices cite exposed electrical wiring in the kitchen, a broken waste line under the sink, loose bathroom tiles, and peeling paint across the foyer and secondary rooms.
Commercial food establishment complaints and sidewalk garbage calls point to ambient odor pressure. Five food establishment complaints were logged within three blocks over the past year, pointing to commercial kitchen exhaust and odor friction nearby. That pairs with seven building-level disposal calls regarding uncontained trash and unbinned refuse on the sidewalk.
Driveway blockages and hydrants dominate the three-block curb profile. Drivers logged 196 illegal parking complaints—mostly hydrants and crosswalks—and 152 blocked-driveway calls within three blocks over the last year. Curb space and driveway access face regular competition on the surrounding blocks.
