455 East 146th Street, Bronx, NY 10455

The 6-story, 40-unit residential building at 455 East 146th Street in Mott Haven, owned by Frederick Camerata, has experienced persistent heating and plumbing issues throughout 2025, with multiple emergency complaints about heat and hot water (most recently in June 2025) and a shower plumbing issue in May 2025, though many of these complaints were resolved promptly according to HPD records. The building has also faced several maintenance challenges, including flooring problems and refrigerator issues, particularly in early 2025, where inspectors had difficulty gaining access to perform evaluations.

A significant cluster of violations was documented in Apartment 6C in late 2024, including reports of mice infestation, water leak issues, and multiple broken fixtures, though many of these were certified as corrected by early 2025. The property has a history of elevator service concerns, with multiple complaints about single-device operation and no alternate service between 2018 and 2025, indicating a recurring infrastructure issue. Active violations from 2023 remain regarding the failure to file external low-pressure inspections.

Recent inspections show the building has maintained a rodent-free status since 2023, despite some previous failures in this area. The building's bedbug reporting records from 2019-2024 show minimal infestation issues, with only two cases noted in 2020-2021, both of which were eradicated. While the property has received various building and plumbing permits in recent years, most notably in early 2020, the persistent heating system problems and occasional maintenance access issues suggest ongoing challenges with building infrastructure and maintenance response times.
