506 East 183rd Street, Bronx, NY 10458

The three-story, two-family house at 506 East 183rd Street in the Belmont neighborhood, currently owned by Babakama 119 LLC, has a documented history of maintenance issues, particularly in early 2019 when multiple emergency complaints were filed regarding water supply problems and heating system failures.

Between January and April 2019, the building experienced at least ten separate incidents involving either heat/hot water or plumbing/water supply issues, with many complaints being classified as "immediate emergency." While some of these complaints were investigated and closed without violations being found, there was at least one instance in April 2019 where HPD was unable to gain access to verify a heat/hot water complaint for the entire building. More recently, there have been two rodent-related complaints filed with the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene, one in 2020 regarding conditions attracting rodents and another in 2022 concerning rat sightings; both investigations resulted in confirmed violations requiring follow-up inspections.

The building, constructed in 1901, has been subject to these recurring maintenance challenges over the years, with the most significant cluster of issues occurring during the early months of 2019. While these problems appear to have subsided, with no similar complaints in recent years, the historical record indicates periods of concern regarding basic building services.
