852 Elsmere Place, Bronx, NY 10460

852 Elsmere Place is a 3-unit, 3-story residential building constructed in 2001 and currently owned by Veronica Nnah. The building has experienced recurring heat and hot water system issues, with at least seven documented complaints between 2019 and 2020, affecting both individual apartments and the entire building. Most of these complaints were ultimately resolved, though one electric lighting complaint from December 2020 required multiple inspection attempts to gain access.

The building underwent some significant maintenance in 2019-2020, particularly in apartment 3, where violations for lead-based paint hazards and painting requirements were noted and subsequently closed. Recent safety and compliance records show that the building has maintained a consistent bedbug-free status from 2021-2024, with no reported infestations in any units. The most recent inspection in January 2025 passed without issues.

The building has had various routine inspections and maintenance checks, including rodent inspections dating back to 2014, with the most recent being successful. Historical records indicate some earlier violations, including a 2019 lead paint hazard issue in apartment 3 and a 2019 complaint regarding door/window conditions that could not be inspected at the time. The property is now current with all bedbug reporting requirements and has maintained generally good standing in recent inspections, though it should be noted that multiple heating system complaints indicate this remains a historically problematic area, despite recent improvements.
