377 East 153rd Street, Bronx, NY 10455

The 25-unit, 6-story tenement building at 377 East 153rd Street, owned by Zev Miltz and constructed in 1905, has experienced numerous maintenance and infrastructure issues in recent years, particularly in 2025. The most pressing current concerns involve water supply problems, with multiple complaints filed in April 2025 and a new water leak emergency reported in June 2025, along with persistent plumbing issues. The building has also faced recurring heating problems, including a building-wide heat and hot water complaint in March 2025, and earlier issues in January 2025.

Significant maintenance violations were identified in 2024, including evidence of spalling window sills, cracked masonry, and general facade deterioration, with violations issued requiring repairs. Apartment 3A had multiple code violations documented in October 2024, including mold issues, missing smoke and carbon monoxide detectors, and various repair needs. The building's history shows periodic issues with pest control, particularly rodent activity, though recent inspections in 2022-2023 have passed.

While bedbug infestations were reported in previous years (with one incident in 2020), recent annual filings (2021-2024) show no infestation activity. The property has generated multiple service requests and violations in recent years, including problems with doors/windows, floor conditions, and sanitary issues. The Department of Buildings has issued facade maintenance violations with associated penalties in 2024, and there was a notable building shaking complaint in 2018. Despite these ongoing maintenance challenges, the building has maintained compliance with annual bedbug reporting requirements and passed recent rodent inspections, though the overall pattern of service requests suggests persistent infrastructure and maintenance needs that require attention.
