1898 Billingsley Terrace, Bronx, NY 10453
1898 Billingsley Terrace is a 5-story, 27-unit residential building located in Morris Heights, constructed in 1926 and currently owned by Mary Coleman. The property has experienced recurring heat and hot water issues throughout 2025, with multiple complaints from February to April reporting problems across entire building and individual apartments, though inspections generally found conditions did not violate housing laws or confirmed that services had been restored.
The building has visible maintenance challenges in Apartment 3C, with open housing maintenance code violations from October 2024 noting issues with mold, an exhaust fan, water leaks, and required repairs to walls and ceilings, despite some violations from the same inspection having been closed. The property has active Department of Buildings (DOB) Environmental Control Board violations from 2022 totaling significant penalties, related to occupancy and egress concerns, and failure to comply with previous orders. The building's history shows consistent maintenance and compliance challenges, including a pattern of emergency work orders and multiple 311 service requests throughout 2025.
Significant past issues include a partial vacate order in 2021 regarding egress, and multiple DOB violations related to occupancy and egress. The property has undergone several rodent inspections between 2020 and 2025, with the most recent inspection in February 2025 reporting rat activity, though previous inspections in 2024 and 2023 required bait application. While some violations have been resolved and certain systems appear to be functioning properly as per recent inspections, the recurring nature of the heat problems and the presence of active violations suggest ongoing maintenance and compliance monitoring is required.
