697 East 183Rd Street, Bronx, NY 10458

The five-story, 20-unit building at 697 East 183rd Street in the Belmont neighborhood, owned by Sokol Beci, was constructed in 2023 and has experienced persistent heat and hot water system issues throughout its short history.

The most recent complaints, filed in February 2025, followed a worrying pattern established earlier in 2024, with multiple tenants reporting building-wide heating problems. These complaints have maintained the same pattern of being categorized as emergency situations, though several were marked as duplicates of previously reported issues.

Despite multiple complaints between April 2023 and February 2025, there appears to be an ongoing challenge with access for inspection purposes, as noted in several HPD resolution descriptions, where inspectors were unable to gain entry to verify the reported conditions. The building's heat and hot water system has been the subject of at least ten emergency complaints, with the majority relating to the entire building's systems, suggesting a systemic rather than isolated problem with the building's infrastructure.
