295 East 149th Street, Bronx, NY 10451

The 22-unit, 6-story building at 295 East 149th Street in Melrose, owned by Simon Moskowitz, has experienced significant maintenance issues in recent months, particularly during April 2025, when multiple emergency plumbing complaints were filed, including problems with toilets, steam pipes/riser systems, heavy water flow, and radiators. Additionally, there were reports of unsanitary conditions including mold and pests, though HPD inspections were unable to gain access in some cases. The building has also faced recurring infrastructure issues, with an open flooring complaint as of April 2025.

Previous violations and maintenance history reveal a pattern of building upkeep challenges. In 2024, Apartment 8 was cited for multiple issues including water leaks, mold, and defective carbon monoxide detectors, though these violations were subsequently certified as corrected. The building underwent significant work in 2022-2023, resulting in several Environmental Control Board violations related to work without permits and improper maintenance of emergency systems.

Compliance inspections under Local Law 188/17 in 2023 and 2024 were reportedly unable to gain access to the building. While the building has maintained a zero-bedbug history for the past three years and passed recent rodent inspections, the frequency and nature of recent complaints suggest ongoing maintenance challenges. The property has active complaints as of May 2025 that warrant attention to ensure proper resolution and compliance with housing regulations.
