Questions about this building

Does 222 Willis Avenue, Bronx have open violations?

Yes. 222 Willis Avenue, Bronx had 11 open violations on October 10, 2026: 11 from HPD. 6 are Class C, the class HPD treats as immediately hazardous. The oldest open HPD violation has been open 29 years, since September 30, 1997.

Is 222 Willis Avenue, Bronx getting better or worse?

Open violations are sitting, with little movement either way. 6 open Class C, with nothing filed or new in the last 180 days. That window ends October 10, 2026. It compares certifications filed with new Class C violations, and it describes what happened, not what anyone intends.

When were certifications filed on Class C violations at 222 Willis Avenue, Bronx?

Since October 12, 2023, certifications were filed on 4 Class C violations: 3 by the original certify-by date, 1 after it. A certification is the filing, dated when it was made, not HPD's acceptance of it. It is compared with the original certify-by date on the notice. A granted postponement moves that date and the city's data keeps only the first, so a certification counted after it may still have met a postponed date.

Does 222 Willis Avenue, Bronx have active DOB violations?

Yes. 6 active DOB violations, most of them for low-pressure boilers. The newest was issued November 14, 2025. The Department of Buildings writes these separately from HPD's housing violations, for things like boilers, elevators, facades, construction and energy filings. Each one stays active until DOB resolves or dismisses it.

Are any HPD emergency repair orders at 222 Willis Avenue, Bronx marked completed?

Yes. 1 completed HPD emergency repair order since October 12, 2023: a lead paint order, opened February 28, 2024, awarded for $2,000. HPD orders an emergency repair when a hazardous condition cited in a violation, or in another agency's emergency order, is not corrected, and does the work itself or through a contractor. The amounts are what the orders were awarded for, not a bill: this page does not show what was charged to the property or whether it was paid. Orders for lab tests, such as dust-wipe and asbestos samples, are not counted.

When did 222 Willis Avenue, Bronx last file its bedbug report?

On May 14, 2026, for the year to October 31, 2025. HPD asks the owner of every building with 3 or more apartments for this report once a year, covering November 1 to October 31, including buildings that had no bedbugs.

Is 222 Willis Avenue, Bronx rent stabilized?

The building has rent-stabilized apartments on its 2024 registration. That comes from the Rent Guidelines Board's list of buildings with at least one stabilized apartment registered that year. Buildings that registered late are left off, and a 421-a or J-51 building can leave stabilization when its tax benefit ends. A particular apartment's status is for NYS HCR to say.

When was 222 Willis Avenue, Bronx built?

The city's record gives 1931 as the year 222 Willis Avenue, Bronx was built, in the Department of City Planning's PLUTO tax-lot file. The same file classes it as a walk-up building with 5 floors.

How many apartments does 222 Willis Avenue, Bronx have?

The Department of City Planning's PLUTO tax-lot file lists 8 residential units at 222 Willis Avenue, Bronx. The count is for the whole tax lot.

Where do these numbers come from?

From New York City's own data: HPD housing violations and OATH/ECB hearing results, read whole rather than sampled. It also draws on OATH/ECB summonses from DOB and FDNY, DOB violations, the Rent Guidelines Board's stabilized-building lists, DOB NOW work permits, HPD emergency repair orders, HPD's annual bedbug reports, the city's PLUTO tax-lot file and DOF's property sales records. This page is current through October 10, 2026. The city's data changes daily, so a violation certified after that can still show as open here; the city's own page for this building is linked above.

Sources. HPD housing violations and OATH/ECB hearing results, plus OATH/ECB summonses from DOB and FDNY, DOB violations, the Rent Guidelines Board's stabilized-building lists, DOB NOW work permits, HPD emergency repair orders, HPD's annual bedbug reports, the city's PLUTO tax-lot file and DOF's property sales records. Counts cover HPD Class B and C violations from the last 3 years that HPD still shows open, and OATH/ECB summonses from the same 3 years that the city still shows active. The city's own pages can show more, never fewer.
