368 East 152nd Street, Bronx, NY 10455

368 East 152nd Street in Melrose is a newly constructed 7-story, 32-unit building completed in 2023 and currently owned by Josh Pfeifer. The property has experienced several significant maintenance issues, most notably a series of heat and hot water problems documented between December 2024 and December 2024, with multiple complaints filed as emergencies during that period. More recently, there are open complaints regarding unsanitary conditions related to garbage and recycling storage as of April 2025, along with a non-emergency refrigerator appliance issue filed in June 2025.

The building's safety and maintenance record shows various Department of Buildings inspections and complaints, including an egress violation in April 2025 that resulted in an Oath violation being served, and an elevator-related violation in late 2024. Prior to completion, the building underwent several inspections and faced multiple complaints during 2022, including concerns about construction work and adjacent building protection. Importantly, the property has maintained a clean record regarding bedbug infestations, with the most recent report for the period of November 2023 to October 2024 showing zero incidents of infestation or re-infestation.

The building's history also includes various Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) interventions, particularly in late 2024 when multiple heat and hot water complaints were filed and required inspection. While some of these complaints were resolved through inspections and violation notices, the persistent issues during 2024-2025 suggest ongoing maintenance challenges. The property has been subject to regular oversight from multiple agencies, including inspections for compliance with sustainability and construction regulations. While the building is relatively new (built in 2023), the documented maintenance issues and open complaints, particularly regarding heating systems and waste management, indicate areas requiring attention, though many historical violations from 2022-2023 have been resolved or closed.
