806 Freeman Street, Bronx, NY 10459

The two-story, three-unit residential building at 806 Freeman Street in Morrisania, owned by Mark Lorber, has experienced numerous maintenance issues in recent years, particularly between late 2024 and 2025. Most significantly, there have been multiple water-related problems, including both slow and heavy leaks reported in March 2025, as well as unsanitary conditions involving pests and mold that resulted in violations being issued. The building has also faced recurring heating system challenges, with complaints regarding heat and hot water affecting both individual apartments and the entire building occurring multiple times between late 2024 and early 2025, though all were reported as resolved.

Additional recent maintenance concerns include issues with paint/plaster on walls, and in June 2025, multiple emergency violations were recorded relating to window guards, fire escape, plumbing (radiator), and flooring. The building has a documented history of structural and safety concerns, including a significant fire incident in August 2019 that caused moderate to severe damage throughout the roof and compromised fire separation between units. This incident led to subsequent construction work that was completed by late 2019.

The property has also faced electrical system issues, with two active Environmental Control Board violations from 2022 regarding improper electrical service support and an unpermitted electrical connection to the basement boiler. While the building has maintained an infestation-free record for bedbugs since 2019, rodent activity has been a persistent issue, with multiple inspections and bait applications recorded throughout 2022-2025, including recent activity in 2025. The property has undergone various inspections and violations related to safety regulations, including a 2024 inspection that identified multiple safety-related violations, though many of these were subsequently certified as corrected.
