East 13th Street, Bronx, NY 10473

The 256-unit, 3-story residential building located on East 13th Street in Clason Point, owned by Kandyce Hughes, has experienced persistent maintenance challenges since at least 2022. Most recently, in April 2025, there is an open complaint regarding unsanitary conditions related to sewage, which HPD is currently investigating. The building has documented multiple water-related issues, including recent water supply problems in December 2024, and ongoing violations in apartments 101, 219, and 309 related to leaks and water damage.

Several units have reported pest problems, with particularly notable issues in 2024 showing mice infestations in apartments 120 and 309, though recent inspections in 2024 showed passing rodent inspection results. Violation records indicate ongoing maintenance needs, including ceiling repair and mold remediation requirements across multiple apartments. The building's maintenance history shows a pattern of moisture-related issues, with both mold and water leaks being recurring concerns from 2022 through 2025.

Public health and safety concerns have been documented through multiple emergency complaints, including unsanitary conditions and plumbing issues. While some inspections have resulted in the building passing inspections, many violations remain open, particularly from 2024, and multiple complaints have required follow-up inspections that were either incomplete or unable to be conducted. The property has also experienced insect problems, with a bees/wasps issue still in progress as of August 2024. The building's structural and systems maintenance issues have required ongoing attention, as evidenced by the frequency and variety of complaints across different units and building systems, with particularly notable clusters of issues related to water damage, pest infestations, and general maintenance needs.
