317 East 150th Street, Bronx, NY 10451

As of July 2025, 317 East 150th Street is a 4-story, 18-unit old law tenement building constructed in 1920 and currently owned by Jacob Soleimani. The property has experienced persistent plumbing and moisture issues, with multiple complaints about water leaks and sink problems reported between 2024-2025, including some instances of heavy flow and slow leaks. The building has several open violations related to emergency maintenance issues as of 2025, including problems with plumbing (bathtub/shower), windows, flooring, mold, and wall conditions. A particularly concerning pattern emerged in late 2024 with several complaints and service requests where HPD inspectors were repeatedly unable to gain access to conduct necessary inspections of plumbing and water leak issues.

The building's history includes notable safety and maintenance concerns, particularly in 2024 when Apartment 4D was found to have multiple violations including defective doors, heating problems, and issues with smoke and carbon monoxide detectors, though some of these violations were subsequently closed. The property has also experienced heating system issues affecting the entire building, though these were reportedly corrected. A pattern of inspection access issues emerged in multiple complaint cases, where HPD was unable to complete inspections despite sending inspectors and follow-up communications. The building's environmental history appears relatively clean, with no reported bedbug infestations in the past five years and passing rodent inspections in 2010, 2011, 2012, and 2023.

However, there were multiple Department of Buildings Environmental Control Board violations issued in 2021 related to occupancy violations and failure to comply with commissioner's orders that resulted in penalties totaling over $10,000, though these were subsequently resolved. The building's maintenance history shows a mixture of resolved and ongoing issues, with several open violations as of 2025 related to critical systems and safety concerns. Notably, there has been consistent reporting of water-related issues throughout 2024-2025, and multiple complaints regarding plumbing systems. While the building has maintained compliance with bedbug reporting requirements and passed rodent inspections, the persistent nature of plumbing and moisture-related complaints suggests ongoing infrastructure challenges. The property's record indicates a need for improved communication and access for inspections, as many complaints could not be adequately addressed due to access issues.
