590 East 187th Street, Bronx, NY 10458

590 East 187th Street is a 5-story, 12-unit residential building located in the Belmont neighborhood, owned by Northeast Community Bank and constructed in 1907 as a New Law Tenement. The property has experienced recurring issues with heating and hot water systems, particularly during 2022 when there were multiple building-wide and apartment-specific complaints about inadequate heat and hot water. These incidents resulted in several Housing Maintenance Code violations, including inadequate heat supply and hot water access problems in specific apartments (notably Apartments 2 and 5), as well as access issues to the building's heating system.

More recently, in 2025, there have been three consecutive plumbing-related complaints regarding water supply issues, with violations noted and requiring correction. The building has also faced some structural and maintenance challenges, as evidenced by environmental control board violations issued in 2023 related to building maintenance, including cracked steps and deteriorated mortar joints. The Department of Buildings has recorded several violations regarding the building's facade and masonry condition, including spalling at the water table and inadequate repairs.

A sidewalk shed-related violation was documented in 2022. Despite these infractions, it's worth noting that the building has maintained a consistent record of passing rodent inspections, with the most recent inspection in April 2025 showing compliance. Additionally, the property has maintained a clean bedbug record over the past several years, with no reported infestations since 2019. The building's management has addressed various maintenance issues as they arise, with most violations being closed following correction, though there remain some active violations related to facade maintenance as of March 2023.
