1908 Osborne Place, Bronx, NY 10453

The four-story, six-unit building at 1908 Osborne Place in University Heights, owned by Uri Dreifus, has experienced several maintenance issues in recent years, with the most significant cluster occurring in April 2025. During this period, multiple housing maintenance code violations were documented across various categories, including plumbing (bathtub/shower and sink issues), water leaks, damp spots, ceiling paint/plaster problems, floor conditions, and door/window frame concerns. These violations prompted HPD inspections, with some requiring owner remediation within specified timelines.

The building's history shows a pattern of recurring maintenance challenges. In 2021, multiple violations were issued to apartment 2 regarding smoke detector and carbon monoxide detector requirements, and similar safety issues were noted in 2020 for apartment 1. 2020 also recorded problems with self-closing doors and fire escape functionality, though these violations were subsequently closed.

Recent rodent inspections have shown mixed results, with the building passing inspections in 2023, 2024, and 2025, following some concerning results in previous years. Notably, the building has maintained a zero-reporting status for bedbugs in its most recent five reporting periods (2021-2024). The property has undergone various maintenance inspections and received multiple violation notices, though many have been addressed and closed, as evidenced by recent HPD inspections finding no housing law violations in April 2025, despite the initial identification of multiple issues requiring correction.
