461 East 185th Street, Bronx, NY 10458

The three-story, four-unit tenement building at 461 East 185th Street in Belmont, owned by Michael Andia, has experienced several significant issues over recent years. Most concerning is a July 2023 electrical complaint regarding inadequate lighting that HPD could not inspect due to access issues, and a persistent pattern of access problems for inspections, evidenced by an uninspectable heat/hot water complaint from 2018.

The building has documented multiple violations related to safety systems, including an active Class C violation from 2017 for locked access to the heating system boiler room on the third story, and several open Class B violations from 2015 concerning Apartment 1's various safety features such as smoke and carbon monoxide detectors, electrical systems, and window mechanisms. While the building's bedbug reporting from 2022-2023 shows no infestations, the property has experienced inconsistent results in rodent inspections, with failures noted in 2024 and 2025, though it passed in December 2024. The building has undergone regular inspections, including bedbug monitoring and rodent inspections, with some recent progress in compliance, particularly with rodent control where the last inspection in December 2024 passed.

Historical records show consistent attention to regulatory requirements, with the most recent bedbug filings in 2024 showing zero infested units. However, the pattern of uninspectable complaints and persistent violations, particularly regarding safety systems and access issues, suggests ongoing challenges with maintenance and compliance, particularly given the building's age (built in 1910) and classification as a New Law Tenement. Despite these issues, recent records indicate some improvements in building management and compliance, particularly in the area of pest control and bedbug reporting.
