386 East 195th Street, Bronx, NY 10458

The 10-unit, 4-story residential building at 386 East 195th Street in Fordham, owned by Robert Morales, was constructed in 2017 and has experienced several recurring maintenance issues since then. Most notably, there have been numerous complaints and violations related to unsanitary conditions and garbage/recycling storage between 2023 and 2024, with the most recent complaint in August 2024 and an active violation from July 2024 regarding refuse accumulation. The building has also faced plumbing issues, including a basin/sink problem in July 2024 and water supply concerns in 2022, though most of these complaints were eventually closed without violations.

A current emergency complaint regarding door/window issues was filed in March 2025. The property has several older violations and issues of concern, including illegal occupancy of cellar units B, 1B, and 2B (currently active as of 2022), and a 2018 violation for occupancy without a valid certificate of occupancy. Security-related violations were noted in 2024, including problems with the building entrance door lock and a self-closing fire door.

The building's history shows some infrastructure and safety concerns, including a 2023 violation for an improperly sealed sprinkler system valve and a 2022 violation regarding improper cooking space use. On a positive note, the building has passed rodent inspections in 2022, 2023, and 2024, and there was no reported bedbug infestation in the period from November 2021 to October 2022. While numerous complaints have been filed, most have been addressed, though some violations remain open and could potentially impact resident comfort and safety.
