1406 Ogden Avenue, Bronx, NY 10452

The 31-unit, 6-story building at 1406 Ogden Avenue in Highbridge, owned by Martin Rivera, has experienced several maintenance issues in recent years, with the most significant concerns occurring in 2025. There are currently open complaints regarding wall paint/plaster issues, and the building has documented multiple floor-related violations in 2025, with similar problems reported in December 2024. Earlier complaints from early 2025 included plumbing issues (Basin/Sink and Bathtub/Shower), though some of these were closed with violations issued.

The building's interior conditions have been subject to regular oversight, with HPD inspections resulting in various violations requiring owner correction. The building has a mixed history of maintenance compliance, with some recent improvements noted in 2025 rodent inspections, where the building passed in both February and June inspections. However, there was one instance of rat activity noted in December 2024.

The property has maintained a generally good record regarding bedbug infestations, with no reported cases in the past three years (2022-2025), though there were two cases in 2020 that were promptly eradicated. Of particular note, there is currently an open Department of Buildings violation regarding the failure to file the FISP Cycle 9C Technical Report by February 2024, and a prior environmental violation from 2019 concerning exterior facade maintenance was resolved with a penalty. The building's age (1925) and classification as a New Law Tenement have contributed to ongoing maintenance challenges, as evidenced by the recurring nature of various housing code violations and complaints. The property owner has historically received violations for various issues, including paint conditions, flooring problems, and maintenance of building systems, though many of these have been subsequently resolved through proper channels.
