856 Elsmere Place, Bronx, NY 10460

856 Elsmere Place is a three-story, three-unit residential building located in Tremont, constructed in 2001 and currently owned by Howard Hibbert. The building has experienced recurring heat and water supply issues throughout 2024, with multiple emergency complaints reported between July and December, affecting both individual apartments and the entire building. The most recent incidents include a mold complaint from December 2024 and a heating issue in apartment 3 that generated violations requiring correction by late December 2024.

Prior to these issues, the building had plumbing problems reported in July 2024, and a pest-related complaint from October 2023 that could not be inspected. While the building is currently listed with no active bedbug infestations as of April 2025, it previously had bedbug violation notices issued in 2021-2022, though no infestations were reported in subsequent annual filings. The property has maintained a consistent record of passing rodent inspections, with the most recent passing inspection occurring in January 2025.

Previous violations related to bedbug reporting requirements were recorded in 2021, 2022, and 2024, though these appear to have been resolved based on subsequent filings showing zero infested units. The building's maintenance history shows attention to various issues, with most complaints being promptly addressed, though the recurring nature of heating and water supply problems suggests ongoing infrastructure challenges. All recent complaints, including the most recent mold and heating issues, have been closed with indications that conditions were corrected, though residents were advised to file new complaints if problems persisted.
