786 East 152nd Street, Bronx, NY 10455

Located in the Longwood neighborhood, 786 East 152nd Street is a five-story, 28-unit residential building constructed in 1906, currently owned by Stacey Shurgin. The property has experienced persistent maintenance issues in recent years, with the most recent complaints in early 2025 involving ceiling paint/plaster problems and water leaks, though Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) inspections were unable to access the affected rooms and no violations were issued. A pattern of water-related issues is evident, with multiple complaints about leaks and damp spots recorded throughout 2024-2025.

The building has also faced significant sanitary challenges, particularly in Apartment 14, which is currently under multiple open violations as of November 2024, including issues with mold, roach infestation, and various bathroom fixture problems. Previous inspections had documented similar concerns, including mold and water leak issues in 2024. The property has shown some concerns regarding structural stability, with two complaints about building shaking/vibrating in 2021 and 2024, though no violations were found upon inspection.

While there were some bedbug reports in previous years (notably one in 2022), recent filings from 2022-2024 indicate no current infestations. The building has a history of rodent-related issues, particularly from 2010 to 2018, with several inspections showing rat activity, though the most recent rodent inspection in September 2023 was passed, suggesting improved conditions. The frequency of maintenance complaints, particularly those relating to water damage, mold, and ceiling conditions, suggests continuing challenges with building upkeep, though many recent complaints have been closed without citations due to lack of access during inspections.
