505 East 183rd Street, Bronx, NY 10458

The two-family house at 505 East 183rd Street in Belmont, owned by Stella Azie, has experienced significant maintenance issues over recent years, with particularly persistent problems occurring from 2023 through 2025. The building, constructed in 1901, has faced multiple emergencies related to heat and hot water systems, with eight documented complaints from November 2024 to December 2024 alone, some of which required HPD inspections that were unable to gain access to verify the conditions.

There have also been recurring water leak issues, including two heavy flow incidents in 2023 and 2024, and two damp spot complaints in late 2024, with at least one resulting in issued violations. Other maintenance issues have included problems with doors and windows, as evidenced by a complaint in September 2024 regarding a door frame that HPD was unable to fully inspect due to access issues. The Department of Buildings records from 2020 to 2023 show multiple concerns about potential illegal conversions of the property, with several complaints filed between 2020 and 2023, though inspections generally found no violations warranting action.

The building has also been subject to three "immediately hazardous" ECB violations related to failure to certify corrections, issued in September 2020 and March 2022, though these were subsequently dismissed in June 2025. The property has a history of access issues during inspections, both for HPD and DOB, as seen in multiple complaints where inspectors were unable to verify the reported conditions. While some complaints have been resolved and closed, the recurring nature of heat/hot water issues and water leaks suggests ongoing maintenance challenges at the property.
