413 East 154th Street, Bronx, NY 10455

The 6-unit, 3-story tenement building at 413 East 154th Street in Melrose, built in 1927 and currently owned by Arman Kohan, has experienced several significant maintenance and safety issues in recent years. Most notably, as of March 2025, there are open complaints regarding unsanitary sewage conditions and plumbing issues with sinks, though some related complaints from earlier this year have been closed. The building faced multiple system failures in January 2025, including widespread heat/hot water outages and power outages affecting the entire building, with several complaints being connected to these recurring issues.

An inspection in September 2024 revealed multiple housing maintenance code violations requiring attention in apartment 3L, including maintenance of steam radiators, wall repairs, and pest control for roaches and mice, though these were subsequently closed after being certified in September 2024. The building's maintenance history shows ongoing challenges with both infrastructure and pest control issues. There have been multiple documented instances of rodent activity, with inspections in 2023 and 2022 showing consistent rat activity, though efforts to address these problems appear to have improved according to compliance inspections.

While the building has not reported bedbug infestations since 2021, and recent filings in 2022-2024 show no active infestations, the presence of pests in past reports indicates historical challenges in this area. The property also experienced plumbing issues that escalated to a full stop work order in 2018, though this appears to be an isolated incident in the historical record. The building's age and classification as an "OLD LAW TENEMENT" suggest that while some code violations have been addressed, periodic maintenance issues continue to affect resident comfort and building systems.
