643 Coster Street, Bronx, NY 10474

643 Coster Street is a 4-story, 8-unit tenement building constructed in 1920, currently owned by Cristian Herrera and located in the Hunts Point neighborhood. The building has experienced a recurring pattern of maintenance issues over the past year, with the most recent concerns emerging in April 2025, including flooring problems, pest infestations, and an electrical outage.

Notably, there is an active Class C violation regarding a cockroach infestation in Apartment 4 (from October 2024) and a Class C violation for rodent issues in Apartment 2M (from June 2024). These maintenance challenges are accompanied by various sanitation and infrastructure problems, including plumbing issues with radiators, mold in the bathroom ceiling in Apartment 4, and multiple instances of pest-related complaints, suggesting ongoing difficulties with building maintenance and resident comfort. The building's most recent inspections indicate some improvements, as demonstrated by the passed rodent inspections in 2023 and 2025, though historically it shows a pattern of unresolved issues requiring multiple service requests before resolution.

The property has consistently filed Bedbug Reporting forms from 2018 to 2024, with all indicating zero infested units, suggesting effective management of this particular issue. Housing Maintenance Code violations from October 2024 detail multiple repair needs in Apartment 4, including defective plaster surfaces, painting requirements, and flooring repairs, though some were closed by December 2024. The building's recent history reveals ongoing challenges with basic services, including a heat/hot water complaint in January 2025 that was not accessible for inspection, highlighting potential concerns with building systems stability and maintenance response times.
