456 East 149th Street, Bronx, NY 10455
The 5-story, 16-unit tenement building at 456 East 149th Street in the Mott Haven neighborhood, owned by Sefik Gunes, was constructed in 1905 and has experienced numerous maintenance issues in recent years. Most notably, in September 2024, the building faced simultaneous emergency violations for water leaks (heavy flow), mold, damaged window frames, and ceiling plaster issues, with HPD inspectors issuing violations that required owner remediation. Similar problems were documented earlier in 2024, including multiple instances of water leaks and mold.
The building has an active structural concern documented in October 2024 regarding leaning keystone blocks and a vertical crack between the 3rd and 4th floors, currently subject to an ECB violation with a $1,250 penalty. The property has a documented history of various safety and maintenance concerns, including issues with self-closing doors, fire escape conditions, and ceiling damage in common areas. Recent inspections have shown some progress, with several violations being certified as corrected by late 2024, though one significant violation regarding a missing spark arrestor at the chimney remains open.
The building's maintenance record shows periodic rodent inspections, with most recent inspections passing, though there was a failure noted in 2022. Bedbug activity was reported in late 2024, marking the first such incident in several years. The building's permit history shows regular maintenance work being performed, with multiple permits issued between 2019-2020 for various repairs.
