50 East 196th Street, Bronx, NY 10468
50 East 196th Street is a 6-story, 43-unit apartment building located in Fordham, built in 1931 and currently owned by Jose Liranzo. The building has experienced recurring maintenance issues in recent years, with the most recent being a heat/hot water complaint affecting the entire building in February 2025. Between November 2024 and May 2025, multiple emergency complaints were filed regarding electrical issues (lighting and no lighting) and a heavy water leak, though HPD was unable to complete inspections for these problems.
In August 2023, several complaints were filed regarding unsanitary conditions, flooring issues, water leaks, and paint/plaster problems, though HPD was again unable to complete inspections for some of these complaints. The building has a documented history of heat and hot water issues, with similar complaints recorded in December 2020, though they were reportedly addressed promptly. The property has maintained a generally clean record regarding bedbug infestations, with no reported cases in the past two years (2023-2024), and only one infestation recorded in 2022-2023, which was reportedly eradicated. In terms of rodent control, recent inspections in 2024 showed varied results, with bait applied in August and September 2024 following rat activity noted in April 2024.
A notable safety concern was documented in 2019, when violations were issued regarding fire escape obstructions from air conditioners on multiple floors. The building's energy efficiency compliance has also been monitored, with a violation documented in December 2023 regarding the failure to display energy efficiency scores, though this was dismissed following challenge. While the building has experienced multiple maintenance issues over recent years, many complaints have been addressed or closed, though there are recurring concerns about heating systems, electrical infrastructure, and occasional water-related issues. The property has maintained compliance with bedbug reporting requirements and has generally passed rodent inspections, though recent baiting suggests ongoing management of pest control needs.
