835 East 155th Street, Bronx, NY 10455

835 East 155th Street is a 4-story, 9-unit old law tenement building constructed in 1910 and currently owned by Martin Popovic. The property has experienced multiple significant maintenance issues in recent years, with the most concerning being a cluster of plumbing and water-related problems in June 2025, including heavy water flow and slow water leaks, as well as pest-related issues.

These recent violations followed a pattern of maintenance challenges, including a March 2025 complaint about lack of heat and hot water affecting the entire building. The building's history shows persistent plumbing and maintenance issues, particularly in Apartment 5, where violations were documented in July 2024 regarding defective plaster surfaces, water leaks, and bathroom fixture problems. Additional maintenance concerns have included door and window issues, wall repairs, and cabinet problems.

The property has undergone various inspections and violation assessments over the years, including an active ECB violation from 2018 concerning unpermitted gas piping work in Apartment 5 with a penalty of $1,600. While the building has maintained a record of zero bedbug infestations since 2018 according to the required reporting, recent rodent inspection records from 2024 show rat activity, with baiting efforts documented earlier this year. The building's maintenance record suggests ongoing challenges with prompt repairs and habitability issues, with numerous violations requiring HPD inspections and resulting in orders for the property owner to address the conditions.
