495 East 158th Street, Bronx, NY 10451
495 East 158th Street is an 8-story, 107-unit residential building constructed in 2009 and currently owned by Herminio Torres. The building has experienced persistent and recurring issues with heat and hot water systems, particularly notable during the winter months. Between November 2024 and March 2025, there were multiple complaints about heat and hot water problems, including one emergency complaint for the entire building in March 2025 and several apartment-specific issues.
December 2024 was particularly problematic, with multiple violations issued related to heat/hot water systems, windows, plumbing, and door conditions in apartment 8H. The building also faces ongoing pest control challenges, with an open complaint about pest issues (specifically rodents) filed in March 2025, and prior infestations in apartments 3K and 6G documented in late 2024. The property has experienced several infrastructure challenges, including an emergency electrical issue (no lighting) in December 2024, and various maintenance violations involving windows, doors, and bathroom fixtures.
The building's elevator system had multiple violations between 2018-2022, suggesting historical maintenance inconsistencies. Most recently, in October 2024, there were serious safety concerns regarding the roof parapet coping stones, with active violations and substantial penalties for unauthorized work and safety hazards, though these are primarily related to building exterior maintenance rather than resident living conditions. Meanwhile, the bedbug infestation history shows periods of occurrence and successful eradication, with the most recent incident reported in December 2024 affecting one unit. The building has passed multiple rodent inspections, including the most recent in June 2023, though violations were issued for rodent infestations in apartment 3K during late 2024.
