753 East 147th Street, Bronx, NY 10455

753 East 147th Street is a 3-story, 3-unit residential building located in the Mott Haven neighborhood, owned by Marco Cabrera and constructed in 2005. The building's maintenance history reveals several significant issues, particularly in 2018-2019 when multiple violations were documented regarding illegal cellar apartment conversions, including unauthorized plumbing, electrical work, and additional rooming units that were allegedly occupied by multiple adults despite the building's three-family designation. These violations resulted in multiple Environmental Control Board citations.

The building experienced various emergency maintenance issues in 2018, including problems with plumbing, electrical systems, and kitchen appliances, all of which were eventually closed. More recent concerns include a 2023 gas line violation in Cellar Apartment C, though this was certified as corrected by the end of January 2023. There have been two heat/hot water complaints in recent years, one in 2021 that resulted in an HPD inspection failure due to lack of access, and another recorded with the Housing Maintenance Code Complaints.

The building's bedbug reporting history shows minimal infestation activity, with zero infested units reported in the most recent filing (2024) and only three units requiring eradication in the 2021 filing. Rodent inspections conducted between 2010 and 2023 have all passed. The property does not currently show any active violations as of July 2025, but there have been periodic issues requiring attention, particularly regarding unauthorized modifications and maintenance concerns. The building's occupancy status appears to have stabilized since 2019, following the resolution of various illegal conversion issues.
