463 East 185th Street, Bronx, NY 10458

At 463 East 185th Street in Belmont, this 3-story New Law Tenement building constructed in 1910 has experienced several significant maintenance issues over the past two years. The most pressing concerns have been recurring heat and hot water problems, with multiple complaints in 2023-2024 reporting inadequate service throughout the building. Notably, in February 2024, a dangerous situation was documented with an apartment in Unit 3 having hot water exceeding 192 degrees Fahrenheit.

The property has also faced plumbing challenges, including multiple complaints about bathtubs/showers and sewage issues in 2024, though HPD was unable to gain access for inspection in some instances. The building has documented pest-related problems, with multiple complaints about unsanitary conditions related to pests in late 2023 and early 2024. Unit 3 appears to be particularly affected by various maintenance issues, as evidenced by multiple Housing Maintenance Code violations and complaints, including problems with intercom systems, carbon monoxide and smoke detectors, and water supply concerns.

Inspection records from 2024 revealed violations related to pest infestation (specifically roaches), defective intercom systems, and missing safety devices. While there have been bedbug reports filed between 2021-2023, none of these reported actual infestations. The building's rodent inspections have shown mixed results, with some passing compliance checks in 2024 but also showing failures for other reasons earlier in the year. A permit for electrical work was issued in August 2022, suggesting some maintenance activity has occurred, though the persistent nature of various maintenance issues indicates ongoing challenges in building upkeep.
