West 190th Street, Bronx, NY 10468

The 37-unit, 5-story residential building at West 190th Street in Kingsbridge, owned by Israel Frankel, was constructed in 2022 and has recently experienced several concerning maintenance issues. Most notably, in May 2025, the building faced multiple safety and health concerns, including violations related to carbon monoxide detector compliance and smoke detector functionality, both of which were classified as emergency situations.

Additional maintenance issues during this period included a slow water leak, with violations issued, and concerns about flooring conditions. The building has experienced recurring heating and hot water system problems, with multiple complaints filed between April 22-30, 2025, though some of these were reported as resolved upon follow-up communication with HPD. An indoor air quality issue related to sewage odor was also reported in April 2025.

The property's recent history shows a worrying cluster of emergency maintenance issues, particularly in the spring of 2025, including problems with heating systems, safety equipment, and water infrastructure. While the building was constructed relatively recently (in 2022), it has already accumulated multiple HPD violations that require correction. On a positive note, the building's official bedbug reporting for the periods covering late 2022 through 2024 shows no recorded infestations, with zero units reported as infested, eradicated, or re-infested during both the July 2024 and December 2024 reporting periods.
