787 East 185th Street, Bronx, NY 10460
787 East 185th Street is a 5-story, 23-unit New Law tenement building constructed in 1931, currently owned by Jamil Waqar. The building has experienced persistent maintenance challenges in recent months, with multiple 311 complaints and HPD violations during 2025, particularly concerning rodent infestations. Between March and June 2025, there were several reports of rat sightings, with follow-up inspections showing rat activity in June 2025 and other inspections failing for various reasons.
The building has also faced significant maintenance issues, including a heat and hot water outage affecting the entire building in May 2025, and violations related to mailbox condition and door/window maintenance during the same period. The property has a history of various building code violations and maintenance issues over the past three years. In 2023, there were documented problems with water leaks, bathroom maintenance, and smoke detector requirements in apartment 3C.
The building's systems have faced scrutiny, with a boiler-related violation noted in 2020, and concerns about vestibule door locks were documented in 2024. However, the building has consistently demonstrated efforts to address these violations, as evidenced by their resolution status. Notably, the building has maintained a clean record regarding bedbug infestations, with no reported cases or eradication efforts documented between 2020 and 2025. While some environmental control board violations were issued in 2020 and 2024, these appear to have been resolved without significant penalties.
