310 East 151st Street, Bronx, NY 10451

The 14-unit, 4-story residential building at 310 East 151st Street in Melrose, owned by Joseph Yaakovzadeh, has experienced significant maintenance challenges over the past year. In 2025, there have been multiple emergency heat and hot water complaints affecting the entire building, with four incidents in March and two in April, all of which were addressed though access issues complicated some inspections. The building has been subject to rodent activity, with inspections in April and June 2025 confirming rat presence.

A December 2024 inspection revealed multiple violations in apartment 4W, including issues with smoke detectors, lead-based paint, pest infestation, and various maintenance concerns such as window frames, doors, and flooring. The building's history includes a notable violation from 2018 regarding illegal Class A apartments in the cellar, though this appears to have been resolved. The property has maintained a clean record regarding bedbug infestations, with no reported cases in the past five years.

Rodent inspections from 2010 through 2023 consistently passed, though recent findings in 2025 indicate a concerning trend. The building's heating system appears to be a recurring problem, with multiple complaints filed throughout 2024-2025, suggesting ongoing challenges with building infrastructure maintenance. The property is classified as an "Old Law Tenement" built in 1925, and while it has met some basic housing maintenance code requirements, the open violations in 4W from December 2024 indicate significant ongoing maintenance needs that have yet to be addressed as of the most recent data.
