795 East 151st Street, Bronx, NY 10455

The 22-unit, 5-story tenement building at 795 East 151st Street in Longwood, owned by Stacey Shurgin, has a history of maintenance issues, particularly regarding heat and water systems. Most recently, in January 2025, there was a building-wide heat/hot water complaint that was resolved by HPD, marking the second such incident in this category within two years, following a similar complaint from December 2022. The building experienced significant maintenance challenges in 2021, with multiple complaints filed on January 30th, including issues with water leaks, ceiling paint/plaster problems (which resulted in multiple violations), and various plumbing concerns including sink and bathtub problems.

These complaints were addressed over subsequent weeks, with inspections revealing both violations and conditions requiring correction. The building's maintenance record also shows attention to safety systems, though with some concerning issues. In February 2021, several violations were documented in Apartment 7, including problems with mold, ceiling and wall conditions, and safety equipment such as smoke and carbon monoxide detectors.

The apartment also required repairs to address bathroom mold, floor grout, and various plaster and paint issues. More recently, a rodent inspection in September 2023 passed, following a notably high level of rat activity detected in 2011-2012, though there was one failed inspection for "Other Reasons" in 2018. The building has maintained a bedbug-free status for the past three reporting periods (2022-2025), with only two infested units recorded in 2021-2022, suggesting effective eradication efforts.
