The 3-unit building at 1551 Bruckner Boulevard in Soundview, owned by Yoryi Castillo and constructed in 2005, has experienced numerous maintenance issues throughout 2024 and 2025, with the most significant being concentrated in Apartment 2. Recent records from December 2024 and January 2025 indicate multiple concerning violations, including excessive hot water temperatures (over 130F), a roach infestation, and various maintenance issues affecting doors, cabinets, and plumbing systems.

The building has also faced recurring heating system problems, with multiple complaints about inadequate heat or hot water, though inspections often encountered access issues. Water-related problems are particularly notable, with both heavy flow and slow leaks reported in late 2024, along with multiple violations regarding water damage and plumbing issues recorded in November 2024. Despite these challenges, the building has maintained compliance in rodent inspections as of 2025, though there was one instance of rat activity noted in March 2023.

The property has a history of door and window maintenance issues, with multiple violations recorded in both November 2024 and December 2024, including concerns about door frames, windows, and security features like fire escape door locks. While some violations have been closed following inspections, several remain open as of the latest records, indicating ongoing maintenance requirements. The building's recent inspection history shows a mix of emergency and non-emergency complaints being addressed, with HPD inspections resulting in both violation issuances and closures, though access issues have occasionally complicated resolution processes.
