Augrented Insights Report for 398 East 152nd Street

The 76-unit, 6-story New Law Tenement building at 398 East 152nd Street in Melrose, owned by Steve Zervoudis, has experienced significant maintenance and safety issues over recent years. Most notably, there is currently an open complaint regarding unsanitary conditions related to pests (filed March 2025), and multiple unresolved violations regarding fire escape maintenance (opened December 2024) suggesting potential safety hazards. The building has a documented history of rodent infestations, with recent bait applications continuing through 2023 and previous investigations showing rat activity.

The property has faced recurring elevator issues, with multiple complaints about single-device service and no alternate service between 2018-2021, though inspections did not find violations. Major maintenance problems were concentrated in late 2024, with multiple complaints about doors, windows, and various appliances, including heating systems. The building has also experienced periodic bedbug infestations, though recent reports (2022-2024) show no active cases.

Environmental Control Board violations from 2018-2020 indicate historical compliance issues, particularly related to facade maintenance and unauthorized work, though these were subsequently resolved. Recent activity includes the issuance of multiple permits between 2019 and 2025 for various maintenance work, suggesting ongoing efforts to address the building's maintenance needs. The property has maintained a regular schedule of rodent control inspections in 2023, with some indications of activity requiring ongoing treatment. While there have been significant and persistent maintenance challenges, particularly regarding elevator service and pest control, the building has demonstrated some responsiveness to regulatory requirements through permit applications and the closure of certain violations, though with some ongoing open issues as of 2025.
