425 East 158th Street, Bronx, NY 10451

The three-unit residential building at 425 East 158th Street in Melrose, owned by Sidney Sandoval, has been in operation since 2001 and exhibits several concerning maintenance patterns. Most recently, in January 2025, there were multiple housing code complaints regarding a ceiling, refrigerator, and bathtub/shower issues, though inspections were only partially completed, with no violations issued for the ceiling complaint. The building has persistent history of maintenance challenges, including a notable cluster of complaints in December 2021 involving a refrigerator, floor issues, and various plumbing problems, though inspections could not be completed at that time.

A concerning mold issue was reported and verified in December 2021, though it was marked as corrected. The building has ongoing compliance issues with bedbug reporting requirements, as evidenced by four open violations (2021-2024) related to the failure to file annual bedbug reports. The property has experienced rodent infestations, with inspections showing rat activity in 2022-2023, though a "Passed" result was recorded in May 2023.

An emergency complaint regarding unsanitary mold conditions was resolved in January 2022. While there was a building permit issued in November 2021, the persistent nature of plumbing, flooring, and appliance-related complaints suggests continued maintenance challenges that may affect resident comfort. The building, classified as a 'HEREAFTER ERECTED CLASS A' structure, consists of three stories and contains three residential units, as per the 2001 construction records.
