363 East 150th Street, Bronx, NY 10455

The 15-unit, 4-story tenement building at 363 East 150th Street in Melrose, currently owned by Madelyn Lugo and with 15 units, has experienced several significant maintenance issues in recent years. Most notably, in April 2025, the building faced multiple heat and hot water complaints, indicating persistent problems with the building's heating system, though inspections ultimately confirmed restoration of services. There is also an unresolved door-related issue from April 2025 that HPD was unable to complete an inspection for. Earlier, in early 2024, violations were recorded concerning mold and wall conditions, which were subsequently closed when no violations were found upon inspection.

The building has several active and unresolved violations that warrant attention. As of 2024, there are open violations concerning damaged hardwood floors in Apartment 1B, compromised security of the cornice to parapet wall, and a failure to maintain proper bedbug reporting compliance. An ECB violation dating to February 2024 notes loose decorative metal trim and missing parging/stucco on the front exposure at the fourth floor level, with an associated penalty of $625. The building's heating infrastructure has shown persistent problems, as evidenced by multiple emergency complaints in 2025, and there were similar heating issues noted in 2018 concerning the boiler system.

While the building has maintained a record of zero bedbug infestations over the past four reporting periods (2021-2024), the presence of mold and indoor air quality issues reported in 2024 suggests ongoing maintenance challenges. The property has a history of access issues for building inspections, as evidenced by multiple "Inspector Unable To Gain Access" notations on complaints dating back to 2020 through 2024. These include complaints regarding illegal conversions and work without permits. The most recent building inspection records from 2023 and 2024 show multiple open violations related to Apartment 1B, including issues with floor conditions, wall plaster and paint requirements, and ceiling materials. The building's maintenance history also reveals ongoing concerns with various building systems and surfaces, though many previous violations have been closed following inspection.
