312 East 183rd Street, Bronx, NY 10458

The 25-unit, 4-story building at 312 East 183rd Street in Fordham, dating back to 1925 and currently owned by Renaissance Realty, LLC, is experiencing several persistent issues as of mid-2025. The property has multiple open complaints with the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD), including ongoing issues with garbage/recycling storage (April and June 2025), a window frame problem (June 2025), and a door issue (April 2025).

A series of plumbing and water-related complaints emerged in April 2025, with some reports indicating officials were unable to gain access for inspection. The building also has open violations from late 2024, including issues with security (broken entrance door lock), safety (carbon monoxide and smoke detector problems), pest control (roach infestation), and general maintenance (water leak, window guard requirements, and heating system access). Recent inspections have revealed troubling conditions, including rat activity noted through multiple inspections between February and July 2025, though bait was applied in some cases.

The building has active violations regarding the failure to file external low-pressure inspections for 2021 and 2022. In late 2024, violations were issued concerning multiple safety concerns in apartment 2C, including inoperable smoke and carbon monoxide detectors, a pest infestation, and maintenance issues affecting paint surfaces and water leak in the kitchen. While there have been no reported bedbug infestations in recent filing periods (2023-2024 and 2022-2023), the building's maintenance history suggests ongoing challenges with basic building systems and resident safety compliance.
