803 East 156th Street, Bronx, NY 10455

The 4-unit, 4-story tenement building at 803 East 156th Street in Longwood, owned by Miriam Rodriguez, has experienced persistent heat and maintenance issues over recent years. Most notably, there have been multiple heat/hot water complaints in 2023 (November 19, November 26, and February), all involving the entire building, with some requiring HPD intervention and one resulting in violations being issued.

The building has ongoing violations related to bedbug reporting requirements (as of April 2024), and in 2023, there were specific issues in apartment 4A involving roach infestation (C-class violation), along with various maintenance needs including heating system access, and both heating and pest control problems that were not fully resolved at the time of inspection. The building's history shows a pattern of heat-related complaints, with previous incidents documented in late 2021 and 2020 that also affected the entire building.

Apartment 4A appears to have experienced the most significant problems in recent years, with violations recorded in 2021-2024 concerning mold (B-class), electrical outlets, mechanical ventilation, and pest infestations. The property has maintained good rodent inspection results, passing inspections in 2010, 2011, 2018, and 2023, indicating generally effective pest control in common areas. While there have been several maintenance issues documented through 311 complaints and HPD inspections, it's worth noting that many of these incidents have been addressed and closed, though some violations remain open as of the most recent inspection dates.
