425 East 153rd Street, Bronx, NY 10455
The 5-story, 25-unit tenement building at 425 East 153rd Street in Melrose, owned by Edwin Rivera, has experienced multiple recurring maintenance issues over recent years. Most notably, in May 2025, there were several complaints and violations related to water leaks, including heavy flow and damp spots, though no violations were issued.
While the building has shown some improvement in pest management with no reported bedbug infestations between 2019-2024, current records show persistent plumbing and sanitation challenges. There are open violations from November 2024 regarding roof repairs, hot water issues, and safety equipment deficiencies (carbon monoxide detectors and smoke alarms) in apartments 5A and 5E. The building has a concerning history of water-related issues, including active moisture and water leak complaints in 2025, and recent rodent inspection failures in 2025 and 2023.
An active ECB violation from 2020 indicates non-compliance with a 2017 order regarding a collapsed ceiling in apartment 4B, with a penalty balance of $1,250. Previous years show various maintenance concerns, including heating issues (multiple complaints about lack of heat/hot water in early 2025 and February 2025), unsanitary conditions, and electrical problems. Historical records reveal notable incidents in the past, including a building shaking/vibrating complaint in 2019 and a boiler-related issue in 2018, though both were ultimately closed with no violations found.
