653 St Lawrence Avenue, Bronx, NY 10473

The three-family residence at 653 St Lawrence Avenue in Clason Point, owned by Wilson Quiles, has experienced several significant maintenance issues over the past three years. Most notably, there were three power outage incidents in July 2023, with the first two being deemed immediate emergencies, though investigations by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) found no violations. The building has shown recurring plumbing and water-related problems, with multiple complaints filed in December 2022 regarding sinks/basins and slow water leaks, though HPD was unable to gain access to inspect these issues.

During the same period, there were concerns about ceiling paint/plaster conditions and a bell/buzzer/intercom system, all requiring access for proper inspection. The Department of Buildings (DOB) records reveal significant plumbing concerns, including an illegal curb cut/driveway issue as of May 2025. A notable incident occurred in April 2024 involving a plumbing violation that resulted in a Stop Work Order, which was later fully rescinded in September 2024.

An illegal conversion matter from December 2022 led to a partial vacate order in April 2023. More recently, in July 2024, there was a violation regarding the intention to revoke plumbing permits due to the suspension of a master plumber's license, though this violation was later dismissed following appropriate actions. While the building has experienced various maintenance issues, it's worth noting that in most cases, inspections did not result in formal violations being issued.
