320 East 150th Street, Bronx, NY 10451

The three-story tenement building at 320 East 150th Street in Melrose, owned by Maharanie Rafik, has been in operation since 1915 and contains 6 units. The property has experienced recurring issues requiring attention to bedbug reporting compliance, with Housing Maintenance Code violations documented in 2021, 2022, and 2023, showing an ongoing failure to file the required annual bedbug reports as mandated by HPD regulations.

The building faced significant heat and hot water service issues in December 2021, with complaints filed through both 311 and the Housing Maintenance Code, though inspectors were unable to gain access to investigate the reported conditions. In terms of rodent inspections, the building showed mixed results from 2010 through 2023, most recently passing a compliance inspection in August 2023 following a failed initial inspection in June 2023.

There were also two gas-related incidents recorded, one in December 2021 where inspectors were unable to gain access to the premises, and an unlawful occupancy/use complaint in March 2019 that was investigated but resulted in no violations being found. The property has maintained its basic structural and safety compliance over the years, as evidenced by the majority of passed inspections, though the repeated bedbug reporting violations and heating system issues in 2021 warrant attention.
