395 East 151st Street, Bronx, NY 10455

395 East 151st Street is a 6-story, 32-unit New Law tenement building constructed in 1931, currently owned by Ramses Capellan. The building has experienced significant recurrent heat and hot water issues throughout 2025, with multiple emergency complaints filed between February and March indicating inadequate heating or hot water in both individual apartments and the entire building. While some of these complaints were resolved through tenant confirmation, the recurring nature of these issues raises concerns about the building's heating infrastructure.

All twelve active heating complaints were eventually closed, though some required multiple complaint submissions due to access issues for inspections. The building underwent several notable violations and repairs in 2024, particularly in apartment 6B, where issues included problems with window guards, bathroom waste lines, various surface defects, and concerns regarding smoke and carbon monoxide detectors. There was also a significant focus on exterior work in 2022, with multiple complaints related to scaffold safety and pedestrian protection, leading to active violations with penalties totaling $10,000. The building's elevator service was a recurring concern in 2022, with multiple complaints regarding single device operation and lack of alternate service during that period.

The property has maintained a clean record regarding pest control, with no reported bedbug infestations over the past eight years, and rodent inspections in recent years have generally passed, with only one instance of recorded rat activity in 2018. Recent Department of Buildings inspections in early 2025 confirmed no violations at the time of inspection. The building does have two active energy efficiency-related violations from 2021 regarding the display of energy efficiency scores. The owners have consistently addressed violations when cited, as evidenced by the majority of violations being certified as resolved, though some, like the need for window guard repairs, remain open as of the latest inspection dates.
