185 Mcclellan Street, Bronx, NY 10456

185 McClellan Street is a 6-story, 111-unit Class A apartment building constructed in 1936, currently owned by Emenegildo Taveras. The property has experienced persistent heating and hot water issues throughout 2025, with multiple complaints spanning January 12-24 and documentation of both building-wide and apartment-specific problems, though inspections generally found conditions had been corrected. In June 2025, there were cluster of serious plumbing issues requiring emergency attention, though most were subsequently resolved.

The building has faced recurring elevator problems, evidenced by multiple complaints between 2020-2024, including periods of no alternate service and various mechanical issues. Structural maintenance concerns have been documented, including issues with spalling masonry, particularly on the south elevation, which led to 2023 violations requiring sidewalk safety measures. The property has a history of rodent activity, with several "Rat Activity" inspections recorded between 2022-2024, though recent inspections in 2025 have passed.

A bedbug infestation pattern shows three units affected in 2021-2022, with only one reported incident in 2023-2024. The building has also experienced multiple infrastructure challenges, including water supply issues (as documented in 311 complaints and housing maintenance code complaints), and problems with self-closing doors in common areas as noted in 2024 Housing Maintenance Code Violations. Recent building inspections have identified various maintenance needs in apartment 2S, including mold issues, flooring problems, and required painting work. While many complaints have been resolved through appropriate channels, the frequency and variety of issues suggest ongoing maintenance challenges within the building.
