366 East 154th Street, Bronx, NY 10455

As of July 2025, 366 East 154th Street in Melrose is a 5-story, 25-unit New Law Tenement building constructed in 1914 and currently owned by Madelyn Lugo. The building has experienced recurring plumbing and heating issues, with the most recent complaints from January 2025 regarding open plumbing problems affecting toilets, sinks, and sewage systems. The property has shown persistent heating system challenges, particularly affecting the entire building, with multiple emergency complaints recorded between 2024-2025, including five separate heat/hot water issues between February and November 2024, three of which were resolved but occurred repeatedly.

The building has also faced various maintenance violations, including an open Class B violation from March 2024 concerning broken vinyl floor tiles in apartment 3D, and multiple issues identified in September 2023 related to lead paint hazards in apartment 5A. The property has a documented history of bedbug incidents between 2019 and 2024, with at least two confirmed infestations (in 2019 and 2021) though recent filings from 2022-2023 report zero infested units. Rodent inspections conducted between 2009 and 2023 consistently passed.

There are also significant water-related issues in the building's recent history, including a heavy flow water leak complaint from March 2024 that required emergency attention. The building's heating system is under scrutiny, with an active ECB violation from 2020 regarding improperly installed equipment and corroded fittings on supply and return lines, with a $625 penalty. The Department of Buildings has issued a 2023 violation for failure to file the 2021 external low-pressure inspection. Despite these issues, recent bedbug reports indicate no current infestations, and the building has passed several rodent inspections, suggesting some level of ongoing maintenance and compliance with certain housing standards.
