828 East 149Th Street, Bronx, NY 10455

The 14-story residential building at 828 East 149th Street in the Mott Haven neighborhood, owned by Michael Kessler, has experienced recurring heat and hot water issues throughout 2025, with multiple complaints filed between April and May 2025 affecting both individual apartments and the entire building. While most of these complaints were eventually resolved according to HPD records, the frequency and nature of these emergency service requests suggests ongoing maintenance challenges.

Additionally, there was one confirmed case of rodent presence reported in May 2025. The building's elevator systems have generated multiple complaints over the past two years, with inspections in 2023-2025 showing no violations at the time of inspection, though this indicates possible recurring concerns.

The property has experienced occasional bedbug infestations, with one case reported in the most recent filing period (2023-2024) and previous infestations noted in 2020 and 2019, though all were reportedly eradicated. A notable administrative issue occurred in 2023 when the building was cited for failing to display its energy efficiency score, though this violation was subsequently dismissed in early 2025. The building's construction history shows proper permit issuance in 2018-2021, aligning with its official opening as a newly constructed Class A building in 2015 with a total of 163 units.
