545 East 148th Street, Bronx, NY 10455

The three-story, three-unit building at 545 East 148th Street in Mott Haven, owned by Jose Cury and constructed in 2001, has experienced several maintenance issues over recent years, particularly concerning heat and hot water systems. Most notably, there have been three documented heat/hot water complaints between 2021 and 2022: one in March 2021 was resolved while tenants reported heat and hot water were restored, another in October 2022 resulted in no access for inspection, and a third in April 2024 involved plumbing issues with a sink/basin.

The building faces two open violations from 2023 and 2024 related to failing to file annual bedbug reports as required by HPD regulations. Additionally, in February 2023, there were classified violations in Apartment 1 regarding unsafe electrical conditions, specifically involving a GFCI outlet and exposed wiring, though these were subsequently closed. The property's maintenance history shows consistent rodent inspection compliance, passing all inspections from 2010 through 2023, suggesting effective pest management.

The building's documented issues primarily center around heating systems and occasional plumbing problems, with the most recent complaint from April 2024 relating to sink/basin plumbing. While there are multiple bedbug report violations on record, these are administrative in nature and do not necessarily indicate an ongoing infestation. The pattern of heat/hot water issues suggests periodic challenges with building systems, though it's worth noting that in most recent complaints, HPD inspections either found no violations or the issues appeared to be resolved through tenant reports.
