526 East 148th Street, Bronx, NY 10455

The three-story, two-family house at 526 East 148th Street in the Mott Haven neighborhood, built in 1960 and currently owned by 526 148th Street LLC, has experienced several significant maintenance issues over recent years. Most notably, in September 2024, a garbage and recycling storage violation was issued by HPD, though this was one of the more recent problems compared to several other historical issues.

During 2022, the building faced multiple urgent concerns including broken or missing window guards, unsanitary conditions with mold and pests, a water leak with damp spots, and problems related to heat and hot water systems. The building's maintenance history also reveals persistent issues with mold, with violations found in 2022 requiring remediation in a laundry room in Apartment 1, along with plumbing problems including a defective bathroom sink waste line connection in the same apartment. The property has undergone several inspections and received various violation notices between 2014 and 2024.

While rodent inspections from 2020, 2022, and 2023 passed, there was a notable failed inspection in 2014 and instances of rat activity documented in 2012. The building has seen multiple emergency and non-emergency complaints addressed by HPD, including safety concerns regarding windows (2022), problems with multiple windows/doors (2022), plumbing issues (2022), and various unsanitary conditions including pest infestations and mold (2020). The most recent violations from 2024 involved sanitation requirements for garbage and recycling storage, though it's worth noting that many complaints over the years have been marked as "unable to access for inspection," indicating potential challenges with building access for inspectors.
