862 East 156th Street, Bronx, NY 10455

The two-family house at 862 East 156th Street in Longwood, owned by Sigal Revivo, has experienced numerous concerning issues over recent years, most notably a current open sewage-related unsanitary condition complaint filed with HPD in March 2025. The property has a significant history of violations and compliance issues dating back to 2018, centered around unauthorized cellar apartment modifications.

Multiple violations were documented in May 2018, including illegal occupancy, unauthorized plumbing installations, and unlawful cooking facilities in the cellar apartment, with one violation carrying a $2,500 penalty for illegal Class "A" apartment installation with no second means of egress. The cellar apartment violations remain active, and there are additional open Housing Maintenance Code violations from 2018 requiring attention. The property has also experienced recurring pest control challenges, with rat activity documented in multiple inspections between 2016 and 2021, though a February 2023 inspection resulted in a "passed" status.

Recent health department involvement includes a December 2020 rodent violation, while the current open sewage condition from March 2025 represents the most recent health concern. The building's violation history suggests ongoing maintenance and compliance challenges, particularly regarding unauthorized modifications and pest control. The 311 service requests and inspection records indicate a pattern of unresolved issues requiring attention, with the most recent being the open sewage condition in 2025, which remains in need of resolution.
