690 East 182nd Street, Bronx, NY 10457

690 East 182nd Street is a 5-story, 49-unit residential building constructed in 1926 located in the Belmont neighborhood and currently owned by Fernando Melecianomanzano. The building has experienced several recurring maintenance and safety issues in recent years, with the most significant problems occurring throughout 2024. These include multiple plumbing violations (affecting toilets, sinks, bathtubs/showers, and radiators), electrical lighting issues, unsanitary conditions including pest infestations (notably in apartment 4B), and water-related problems.

Apartment 4B, in particular, was found to have multiple violations in March 2024, including mold, pest infestations, peeling paint, and the absence of carbon monoxide detectors. The building's maintenance history shows ongoing concerns with rodent activity, with multiple inspections in 2024-2025 consistently revealing rat presence, although there have been some passed inspections as well. There have been three bedbug incidents reported between 2019-2024, with the most recent in 2023 showing one infested unit that was subsequently treated.

The property has also faced several building safety issues, including scaffolding violations and debris concerns. Two significant boiler-related violations were recorded in 2019 and 2021, though these appear to have been resolved. Recent Department of Buildings inspections in early 2025 resulted in multiple no-violation findings under Local Law 188/17 Compliance Inspections. The building has demonstrated some improvement in recent months, with fewer reported violations and successful completion of certain repairs, though several violations remain open as of October 2023, primarily related to apartment 4B.
