628 Coster Street, Bronx, NY 10474

The 2-story, 3-unit building at 628 Coster Street in Hunts Point, owned by Abraham Choai and constructed in 1910, has experienced several significant maintenance issues in recent years. Most recently, in June 2025, there was an emergency heat and hot water complaint affecting the entire building, though these services were restored before the inspection was completed.

Between late 2024 and early 2025, the building faced multiple issues including unsanitary conditions related to pests (in December 2024 and previously), along with various plumbing, electrical, and heating problems. Notable violations from February 2024 include inadequate heating system access, insufficient hot water supply in Unit 2, and multiple infrastructure concerns such as water leaks and pest infestations, particularly in Unit 2 where violations related to roach infestation and multiple plumbing issues were documented. The building's mechanical systems have also shown recurring problems, with multiple heat and hot water service disruptions recorded between 2024 and 2025.

While rodent inspections in both 2023 and 2025 passed, indicating improved conditions, the building has a history of water-related issues, including heavy flow leaks and various plumbing concerns. Bedbug reporting shows no infestations in recent years, though there were some eradications noted between 2020-2021. The property's maintenance history suggests ongoing challenges with basic building systems and infrastructure, with multiple open violations as of the latest inspection dates.
