264 Echo Place, Bronx, NY 10457

264 Echo Place is a 6-story, 39-unit New Law Tenement building constructed in 1926, currently owned by Jose Collado. The building has experienced recurring issues with water-related problems and maintenance concerns over the past few years. Most recently, in February 2025, there were multiple complaints regarding unsanitary conditions (mold), paint/plaster issues, and water leaks, though HPD was unable to complete inspections for these complaints.

Earlier incidents include significant water leak problems documented in April 2024 (both heavy flow and slow leaks), and multiple housing code violations were issued. The building suffered from heating issues, with complaints filed in November 2024 about no heat or hot water in the entire building, though these conditions were reportedly restored during inspection. Notable building maintenance concerns include safety violations related to exposed electrical wiring in public hall areas (4th and 6th stories) identified in May 2024, and a broken or defective locking mechanism at the building entrance door identified in July 2024.

Apartment 3E appears to have experienced multiple issues requiring attention, including water leaks, mold presence, and various maintenance violations throughout 2024. While the building has generally passed rodent inspections, including three consecutive passing results in 2024-2025, there were instances of rat activity noted in 2023. The property has maintained a consistent filing record for bedbug inspections, with no confirmed infestations reported in the past two years. The Department of Buildings records show routine compliance inspections were performed in 2020, with various permits issued for maintenance work between 2018 and 2020, including electrical and plumbing-related permits.
