469 East 147th Street, Bronx, NY 10455

The 66-unit, 7-story residential building at 469 East 147th Street in Mott Haven, owned by Catherine Yu, has experienced persistent heating and hot water infrastructure issues since at least 2025, with multiple emergency complaints recorded between May and June 2025. The building, constructed in 2017, shows a concerning pattern of similar maintenance challenges, particularly affecting basic services. Recent inspections in 2024 and 2025 identified several violations requiring attention, including problems with compactor closet doors, security features, and some instances of improper posting of gas leak emergency procedures.

While the building has maintained a bedbug-free record according to the reporting period from 2022-2024, rodent inspections have shown mixed results, with a "failed for other reasons" determination in November 2023 being the most recent. The elevator system appears to have required attention in 2020, though no violations were found at that time. The property has undergone regular bedbug reporting since 2019, with consistently showing no infested units between 2021-2025, and only one instance of infestation recorded in 2019-2020 that was promptly addressed.

Two active violations related to the elevator's emergency phone system and maintenance have been recorded as of 2024, with associated fines totaling $6,250. The building's history shows varying degrees of maintenance responsiveness, with some repairs being completed and others remaining open, particularly concerning the heat and hot water systems which have generated the highest volume of complaints. Violations related to building safety systems, such as smoke and carbon monoxide detectors, while initially concerning, have typically been resolved promptly once reported. The frequency of heating and water-related complaints stands out as a significant pattern, indicating systemic infrastructure challenges that have persisted since the building's construction.
