1505 Macombs Road, Bronx, NY 10452

The six-story, 58-unit building at 1505 Macombs Road in Mount Eden, built in 1936 and currently owned by Moroy Sohn, has experienced recurring maintenance issues over the past few years. Most recently, in late 2024 and into 2025, there were multiple HPD complaints regarding plumbing (toilets and bathtubs/showers), pest infestations, and unsanitary conditions, though these inspections were unable to be completed due to lack of access. Between 2022-2024, the building has shown consistent plumbing issues, including water supply problems, damp spots, and various other maintenance complaints.

There were notable pest control challenges in 2023, with documented roach and mouse infestations in apartments 2J and 2K, though these violations were certified as corrected by September 2023. The building has maintained a generally good record with regards to bedbug infestations, showing zero cases reported between 2019 and 2025. Rodent inspections have yielded mixed results, with three failures noted in 2024-2025, though the most recent inspections in 2025 resulted in a passing grade.

There have been several housing maintenance code violations in recent years, including issues with compactor doors, elevator service, and a significant alteration to a wall in apartment 4K. The building's last comprehensive inspection in October 2022 resulted in multiple violations related to the compactor system and hallway maintenance, though these were subsequently addressed and closed by late 2022. While the building has had its share of maintenance challenges, particularly with plumbing and pest control, the management has generally addressed and closed violations once identified, though access issues have sometimes complicated the inspection process.
