420 East 159th Street, Bronx, NY 10451

The three-story, three-unit tenement building at 420 East 159th Street in the Melrose neighborhood, owned by Angela Rosario and constructed in 2001, has experienced several notable maintenance events over the past few years. The most significant recent incident occurred in January 2022, when the building received complaints regarding heat and hot water issues in one of the apartments, which were subsequently investigated and corrected according to HPD records.

In February 2022, the building received an important violation related to the failure to file the required annual bedbug report, though this violation appears to have been resolved. The property has demonstrated consistent attention to pest control matters, as evidenced by eight consecutive years of bedbug filings from 2019 through 2024, all indicating zero incidents of infestation, eradication, or re-infestation in any dwelling units.

Additionally, the building has maintained a clean record regarding rodent inspections, having passed all four initial inspections conducted between 2010 and 2023. Despite the one-time heat and hot water issue in 2022, the overall maintenance record suggests regular upkeep and compliance with housing regulations, with no recurring or pattern of violations that may affect resident safety or comfort.
