611 East 149th Street, Bronx, NY 10455
611 East 149th Street is a 5-story, 39-unit residential building constructed in 1923 and currently owned by Chaim Leser. The property has experienced ongoing heating and window maintenance issues in early 2025, with multiple complaints about window frames and heat/hot water problems, particularly in January 2025 when several emergency complaints were filed and subsequently closed, some after HPD was unable to gain access for inspection. The building has a history of maintenance challenges, with 2024 showing significant heat/hot water complaints across both individual apartments and the entire building, along with issues requiring inspection by the Department of Health.
Apartment 4A has been a particular focus of violations throughout 2024-2025, documenting multiple issues including pest infestations (mice and roaches), window guard violations, door repairs needed, and various maintenance problems affecting both bathroom and kitchen facilities. The building's operational history reveals recurring elevator service issues, with multiple complaints between 2019-2024 regarding single device operation and lack of alternate service. Periodic inspections have shown some facade maintenance needs, particularly concerning cracked coping stones and exterior preservation.
While there were some pest and sanitary issues documented in late 2024 through early 2025, the bedbug reporting system indicates no monitoring units with infestations over the past three reporting periods from 2021-2025. The building currently has two active DOB violations regarding failure to file required periodic reports and display energy efficiency information, though several historical violations from 2019-2024 have been successfully resolved or dismissed. Regular maintenance inspections appear to be occurring, with the most recent bedbug and pest control inspections showing no active treatment needed according to the most recent filing in May 2025.
