710 East 187th Street, Bronx, NY 10458

The 4-story, 7-unit residential building at 710 East 187th Street in Belmont, owned by Nik Lizo, has experienced several notable issues over recent years, particularly concerning heating systems. A series of heat and hot water complaints emerged in late 2019 (5 different incidents between November 13-18, 2019), with some complaints related to the entire building and others to individual apartments, though most were resolved within one to two days of reporting. The most recent maintenance issue, reported in April 2024, involved window frame problems, which was inspected by HPD with no violations issued.

Multiple housing maintenance code violations were documented in May 2024, primarily affecting Apartment 3 on the 2nd floor, including problems with plastered surfaces, water leaks, and painting issues, along with violations related to a self-closing door in Apartment 903. The building has maintained a clean record regarding bedbug infestations, with all annual reports from 2018 to present showing zero infested or re-infested units. Regular rodent inspections have also consistently passed between 2019 and 2025, indicating effective pest management.

From 2018, there were several Department of Buildings Environmental Control Board violations (totaling $28,500 in penalties) related to work done without proper permits in the ground floor commercial space, though these were subsequently resolved. Most recently, in March 2024, there was an open violation regarding a self-closing door at the 4th-story bulkhead, though this appears to have had minimal impact on resident safety. The building's maintenance history shows a pattern of addressing issues, though some problems, particularly related to heating systems, have recurred over time, with the most recent heating-related complaints dating back to 2019.
