15 North Street, Bronx, NY 10468

The 38-unit, 6-story apartment building at 15 North Street in University Heights, owned by North Management LLC and constructed in 1936, has experienced recurring heat and hot water issues throughout 2025, with eight emergency complaints filed between January and April 2025, all of which were resolved but indicate ongoing system challenges. The building has faced several maintenance and safety concerns, including three Housing Maintenance Code violations in early 2024 related to inadequate heat and hot water supply in apartments B2 and 1A, and issues with building heating system access. A significant compliance matter emerged in 2019 regarding illegal cellar conversions, with multiple violations issued for unauthorized apartments and laundry facilities, though these were ultimately resolved, including substantial penalties totaling $9,375.

The elevator system has been a recurring focus of complaints and inspections, particularly between 2019-2023, with several instances of non-compliance and access issues, though recent inspections have shown improvement with no violations. Recent environmental controls have shown generally good compliance, with no bedbug infestations reported since 2021 and passed rodent inspections in 2022, 2023, and 2025, though there were some failures noted in 2024 and 2023. The building's maintenance history shows regular attention to code compliance, with multiple violations being addressed and closed, including issues with concrete repairs at the entrance, and problems with hot water systems affecting multiple units.

The property has maintained an active bedbug monitoring program with zero reported infestations in recent years, and most recent rodent inspections have passed. The building's management has demonstrated responsiveness to regulatory requirements, though the recurring nature of the heat and hot water complaints suggests ongoing system challenges. The property has also successfully completed its annual bedbug reporting requirements, showing no active infestations, and has passed multiple recent rodent inspections, indicating improved pest control compliance.
