739 Coster Street, Bronx, NY 10474

739 Coster Street is a 6-story, 25-unit New Law Tenement building constructed in 1924 and currently owned by Ismene Speliotis. The building has experienced several maintenance issues in recent years, with the most pressing concerns being heating and water supply problems. In December 2024, there were multiple heat and hot water complaints affecting both individual apartments and the entire building, with violations noted for inadequate heat supply and hot water access in apartments 2D and 6E.

While these issues were addressed, they highlight ongoing concerns with the building's systems. More recent problems include a power outage (June 2025), water leak (May 2025), and mold issues (May 2025), though inspections by HPD found these conditions did not violate housing laws. The building has active Department of Buildings violations from 2024 regarding elevator service and energy efficiency compliance, with a significant ECB violation citing expired tags, missing signage, and elevator system issues resulting in a $3,125 penalty.

There are also multiple open violations from late 2024/2025 concerning building systems and maintenance, including problems with the roof, window pane, and various interior fixtures. The property has generally performed well in recent rodent inspections, passing in 2023 and 2025, though there were two failures noted in 2017. Bedbug reports show minimal activity, with only one infested unit reported in 2019-2020, and subsequent years showing no infestations.
