412 East 187th Street, Bronx, NY 10458

The 2-story, 3-unit residential building at 412 East 187th Street in Fordham, owned by Abraham Kohn and constructed in 2004, has experienced persistent maintenance issues over recent years, particularly in 2025. Most notably, there have been multiple emergency heat and hot water complaints in early 2025, with inspections often unable to gain access or finding conditions that did not violate housing laws. Water-related problems have also been a recurring theme, with several complaints about leaks in 2023 and 2025, though violations were generally not issued.

The building currently has open Housing Maintenance Code complaints from June 2025 regarding unsanitary conditions related to pests and door issues. A comprehensive inspection in April 2023 of Apartment 1 revealed multiple violations including mold, water leaks, a defective bathtub, and problems with the bathroom's interior surfaces and fire door, all of which were subsequently closed following certification of correction. The property has experienced intermittent pest issues, with documented rodent activity noted in multiple inspections throughout 2023-2025, including recent activity in April 2025.

A concerning set of violations was issued in May 2023 regarding unsafe electrical wiring at the building entrance, and there are current Environmental Control Board violations from June 2023 related to disrepair of the concrete slab at exposure #1, though this was resolved with a penalty. While the building has maintained a consistent record of being free of bedbug infestations since at least 2020, the sequence of maintenance issues, particularly regarding heat/hot water and water leaks, along with ongoing pest control challenges, suggests persistent building maintenance concerns that require ongoing attention. The most recent building inspection data available through October 2023 shows these patterns continuing into 2025, with multiple service requests and violations remaining unresolved or requiring re-inspection.
