125 West 195th Street, Bronx, NY 10468

The six-story, 39-unit building at 125 West 195th Street in Kingsbridge, owned by Rudolfo Torres and constructed in 1963, has experienced significant maintenance challenges in recent years. As of mid-2025, the building has recurring elevator issues, with active complaints dating back to 2024 regarding "Single Device on Property/No Alternate Service." There are also multiple open violations from December 2024 involving units 2C and 5B, including missing smoke detectors, defective plastered surfaces, mold conditions, and problems with self-closing doors. The building has faced persistent heat and hot water supply issues, with multiple complaints recorded in early 2025, as well as electrical problems and unsanitary conditions including mold.

The property has an active ECB violation from 2024 regarding elevator safety systems, and several violations related to energy efficiency requirements remain open. While there have been some rodent activity issues noted in 2024 and 2025 inspections, recent inspections have shown improved compliance, with the most recent inspection in June 2025 passing. Notably, the building has maintained a consistent record of zero bedbug infestations according to the annual reporting requirements since 2021.

The property's maintenance history shows ongoing issues with water leaks, mold, and building systems, particularly the elevator and heating systems. The building has reactive maintenance patterns, with many complaints requiring follow-up inspections and multiple 311 service requests for similar issues. Recent HPD inspections have resulted in violations that require correction within specified timeframes, and while some violations have been certified as corrected, several remain open as of 2025. The building's age and the nature of these recurring issues suggest persistent challenges with building systems and upkeep, though recent inspections indicate some improvements in rodent control compliance.
