450 East 146th Street, Bronx, NY 10455

This three-story, two-family house located at 450 East 146th Street in Mott Haven, owned by Carol Cumberbatch, has experienced recurring maintenance issues over the past three years, with particular concerns around water leaks and pest infestations. Most recently, in November 2023, the building received multiple HPD complaints, including emergency reports of water leaks and door issues, as well as a non-emergency pest complaint that resulted in violations being issued. A similar pattern occurred during September 2022, when violations were issued for water leaks and pest problems.

The building has an ongoing pest infestation violation as of March 2024, affecting the first apartment on the ground floor. The property has documented issues with water leaks affecting the ceiling in the first room from the north in Apartment 1, as evidenced by multiple violations from both 2022 and 2023. Other maintenance concerns include an electrical lighting issue reported in February 2022, which was resolved, and several housing maintenance code violations related to plaster surfaces and paint requirements.

While the building has passed several rodent inspections between 2010 and 2023, suggesting some level of effective pest management, the repeated nature of the water and pest issues indicates ongoing maintenance challenges. A complaint regarding egress safety was filed in July 2022, though no violations were found upon inspection. The property, built in 1991, has generated consistent maintenance requests, particularly focused on water management and pest control, with most issues occurring in Apartment 1 on the ground floor.
