624 Coster Street, Bronx, NY 10474

624 Coster Street is a 2-story, 3-unit residential building located in Hunts Point, built in 1910 and currently owned by Jihad Quteibi. The building has experienced recurring issues with water and heating systems, as evidenced by multiple emergency complaints and violations. Most notably, in March 2023, there were power outages and heating issues that affected the second-floor apartment, along with water leak problems.

Earlier, in January 2023, there were complaints about heat and hot water problems, and in late 2018, multiple issues were reported in Apartment 1, including mold, water leak, malfunctioning smoke detector, and damaged kitchen floor. The building has also faced regulatory scrutiny, with an illegal conversion complaint filed in 2018, though inspectors were unable to gain access to verify the alleged violations. Recent inspections show some positive developments, including successful rodent inspections in 2023 and 2025, with rat activity reported in 2016-2017 showing improvement in pest management.

The property complied with the bedbug reporting requirements for the period of 2022-2023, reporting no infested units. However, as of March 2023, there are still open violations related to electrical service and water leakage affecting the second-floor apartment, along with interior maintenance issues such as plaster repair and paint uniformity. The building's history shows persistent challenges with basic amenities, including heating, water systems, and building maintenance, particularly affecting apartments on the first and second floors.
