855 East Tremont Avenue, Bronx, NY 10460

855 East Tremont Avenue is a 5-story, 24-unit residential building constructed in 1931, currently owned by Kalman Tabak. The property has experienced recurring pest issues, with the most recent unsanitary condition complaint related to pests filed in May 2025, though the HPD inspector could not gain access for inspection. The building has faced significant maintenance challenges over recent years, including multiple heat and hot water outages affecting the entire building, with emergency complaints logged in 2024 and 2022.

Safety concerns have also emerged, including a broken/missing window guard complaint in February 2024 and fire escape defects noted in 2024 requiring replacement of a broken tread on the 4th story. More concerning recent developments involve multiple violations related to building security and maintenance. In May 2024, several violations were issued regarding the building's entryway security, including defective locks and the need for proper mechanical locks in case of power outages.

The building has been under regular inspection for rodent activity, with multiple inspections in 2025 showing either rat activity or failed inspections. The property has also received multiple ECB violations in 2024, including one for allegedly submitting falsified documents regarding electrical work, and there are active violations related to electrical and plumbing work from 2022 that remain unresolved. However, it's worth noting that the building has consistently reported zero bedbug infestations in their annual filings since 2021, and the most recent rodent inspection in June 2025 was passed, suggesting some progress in pest management efforts.
