AI summary · updated June 2026

The six-story, 190-unit building at 455 East 148th Street in Mott Haven, owned by Brenda Rosen and completed in 2008, currently has multiple significant open maintenance issues as of July 2025. These include problems with pests (both pest-related complaints and a pest violation), wall conditions, electrical outlets, window frames, flooring, appliances (specifically refrigeration), and plumbing (including sink and basin issues). Recent elevator-related concerns have emerged, with three active complaints about multiple devices dating from June 2025. The building has a history of bedbug infestations, with annual reports showing consistent occurrences between 2019 and 2024, though all reported infestation cases were followed by successful eradication.

The property has faced various violations and maintenance challenges over the past few years. A 2024 inspection of Apartment 517 revealed issues with smoke and carbon monoxide detectors, while other units have had problems with self-closing doors, plaster surfaces, and excessive storage concerns. There are recurring concerns about egress pathways, with multiple complaints between 2024-2025, though inspections typically found no violations. Rodent inspections have shown mixed results, with several failures in 2021-2022, though more recent inspections in 2023-2024 were passed. The building's systems have required ongoing attention, as evidenced by multiple emergency and non-emergency maintenance requests related to electrical, plumbing, and appliance issues. While some violations have been resolved, including elevator maintenance issues in 2019 and various safety inspections, the current open complaints suggest ongoing maintenance challenges requiring attention.
