320 East 151st Street, Bronx, NY 10451

The 12-unit, 4-story tenement building at 320 East 151st Street in Melrose, owned by Beverly Frazier, has been in service since 1918 and has experienced several maintenance issues in recent years. In 2025, three significant problems were documented, including ceiling plaster issues (immediate emergency), flooring concerns (non-emergency), and a safety-related smoke detector problem (emergency), all of which were closed within two days.

Earlier in 2023, multiple complaints were filed regarding a slow water leak, lighting issues, and radiator problems, all marked as emergencies, though inspectors were unable to gain access for verification and ultimately closed these complaints in May 2023. The building also experienced a heat and hot water outage affecting the entire building in July 2021, though this was reportedly resolved quickly. The building has maintained a clean record regarding pest control, with no bedbug infestations reported in the annual filings from 2019 through 2024, and recent rodent inspections (most recently passed in May 2023) show consistent compliance with city health requirements.

While there was a failure to comply with a vacate order complaint filed in December 2023, this was investigated and deemed unsubstantiated based on department records. The building's recent history suggests ongoing maintenance challenges in certain areas, particularly regarding building systems like plumbing, electrical, and safety systems, though many of these issues have been addressed, often after multiple complaint filings. The consistent lack of pest issues and favorable rodent inspection results indicate good general sanitation practices are being maintained.
