153 East 149th Street, Bronx, NY 10451

The three-story, two-family house at 153 East 149th Street in the Concourse neighborhood, owned by Jacob Oresky, has experienced several notable events regarding its maintenance and health compliance over recent years. The building, constructed in 1931, has gone through periodic rodent inspections, most recently passing inspections in August 2024 and May 2023.

However, there was one identification of "Rat Activity" in June 2022 that warrants attention. The property has experienced recurring food establishment-related issues, with the most recent complaints in 2025 and 2023 involving rodents, insects, garbage, and food spoilage, though these were ultimately closed after investigations by the NYC Health Department. The building has demonstrated a generally positive track record in terms of compliance with health and safety inspections since 2015, with the majority showing passing results.

There have been multiple work permits issued in 2018, including for electrical (EW) and plumbing (PL) work, suggesting proactive maintenance and upgrades to the building's infrastructure. While the property's inspection history displays numerous pass results, the presence of recurring health-related complaints and the single instance of rat activity in 2022 indicate some ongoing challenges with maintenance of common areas. The building's age of 94 years is taken into account, though it appears to have undergone regular inspections and permit updates during this period.
