459 East 181st Street, Bronx, NY 10457

459 East 181st Street is a three-story, three-unit residential building located in the Belmont neighborhood, constructed in 2006 and currently owned by Gleny Mena. The property has experienced several recurring issues over recent years, with the most significant recent problems occurring in February 2024.

During this period, multiple complaints were filed regarding heat and hot water issues, safety concerns (including sprinkler and carbon monoxide detector checks), pest problems, and maintenance issues affecting flooring and ceilings. While inspections were conducted by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD), no violations were issued for these complaints, though there was one issue of excessively hot water (over 130F) in an apartment kitchen that was abated.

The building has also faced ongoing maintenance challenges since at least 2019, with documented violations including an open bedbug reporting requirement (dating back to 2019), previous rodent infestations (noted in 2019), and various safety concerns such as defective lighting and fire egress issues that have since been closed. Despite these historical problems, recent rodent inspections conducted between 2022 and 2025 show consistent passing results, indicating improved pest control efforts. The property has maintained a generally responsive pattern to complaints, with multiple emergency and non-emergency issues being addressed and closed within reasonable timeframes, though some access issues were noted during inspections, particularly regarding heat/hot water complaints.
