446 East 149th Street, Bronx, NY 10455

The 10-unit, 6-story residential building at 446 East 149th Street in Mott Haven, constructed in 2008 and currently owned by Alfio Carroccio, is experiencing multiple significant maintenance issues as of mid-2025. Most concerning are recently reported unsanitary conditions involving pests and an emergency water leak with heavy flow, both of which remain unresolved as of May 2025. The building has a documented history of water-related problems, including a heavy flow water leak in 2023, a slow leak (October 2023), and various plumbing issues.

Heating systems have also been problematic, with violations recorded for inadequate heat supply in multiple inspections (2023-2025). In late 2023, several violations were recorded and subsequently certified as corrected, including problems with the building's intercom system, wall and floor conditions, and heating maintenance. The building's maintenance history shows recurring issues with both heat/hot water and electrical systems, though many earlier complaints from 2018-2023 have been resolved.

Recent inspections in 2023 had mixed results: while a rodent inspection in May 2023 passed, there was one failed inspection in 2018. Importantly, the building has consistently filed its bedbug reports since 2021, showing zero infested units in the last three reporting periods (2021-2024), suggesting effective management of this particular pest issue. The property has maintained its compliance with the Housing Maintenance Code's bedbug reporting requirements, with the most recent violation recorded in April 2024 related to the annual bedbug report filing. These findings suggest ongoing maintenance challenges, particularly with water systems and heating, though some historical issues have been resolved over time.
