388 East 154th Street, Bronx, NY 10455

The two-family house at 388 East 154th Street in the Melrose neighborhood, owned by Edouard Terzis, has experienced several maintenance issues over the past few years that warrant attention. Most recently, in April 2022, there were significant heating and hot water issues reported in the second-story apartment (Apartment 1), with the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) issuing Class C violations for inadequate heat and hot water supply throughout the unit.

Prior to this, in early 2020, there were multiple housing code violations documented in Apartment 2 related to plaster and paint deficiencies, with HPD noting problems in the ceiling, west wall, and kitchen surfaces, resulting in both Class A and B violations. The building's pest control history shows a concerning pattern, with records from 2016 and 2018 indicating rat activity, though the most recent inspection in June 2023 passed without issues.

This building has maintained some rodent control consistency since 2010, with the exception of 2016 and 2018 when violations were noted. While there have been periodic maintenance issues, particularly regarding heat and water systems, and interior surface conditions, it's worth noting that these violations remain in an "Open" status as of the latest available data. The property's age (built in 1899) is typical for the neighborhood, and while it has experienced various maintenance challenges, recent inspections have shown improvement in rodent control, passing inspections in 2023 and 2018.
