732 East 152nd Street, Bronx, NY 10455

The 5-story, 19-unit building at 732 East 152nd Street in Longwood, owned by Aaron Grossman, has experienced several recurring maintenance issues since 2020, with the most pressing concern being a pattern of heat and hot water problems affecting the entire building. Recent incidents include a heat/hot water complaint in December 2023 (resolved), and similar issues in November 2020 and October 2018. The building has ongoing pest control challenges, with active violations as of March 2024 documenting roach infestations in multiple apartments (1A, 2A, 3B, and 3C) and a mouse infestation noted in apartment 1A.

The property has also faced structural and safety concerns, including a defective fire escape ladder (2nd story) and defective self-closing doors at the first-story fire exit, both documented in March 2024. Most notably, there are several active violations related to boiler and pressure system maintenance. In July 2024, a violation was issued for a leaking boiler with exposed wiring, and there are multiple open violations concerning the failure to file external low pressure inspections for the years 2018-2023.

A bedbug reporting violation was noted in April 2024. On a positive note, the building has passed recent rodent inspections (September 2023 and April 2022), though there was documented rat activity in previous years (2018 and 2022). The property's maintenance history reveals a pattern of recurring issues, particularly with heat systems and pest control, though many individual complaints have been resolved upon inspection. The building, constructed in 1904, is classified as a New Law Tenement.
