1500 Overing Street, Bronx, NY 10461

The 5-story, 31-unit building at 1500 Overing Street in Westchester Square, built in 1926, has experienced recurring maintenance issues in recent years, with particular emphasis on heating and hot water problems. There have been three significant complaints regarding heat and hot water: in March 2021 (affecting the entire building), December 2022 (apartment-specific), and a heavy water leak in August 2018.

The building's recent history shows multiple Department of Buildings (DOB) violations related to construction safety and code compliance in 2020, with several penalties imposed, including $2,500 for non-conforming construction work and $620 for failure to provide approved plans during inspection. More recently, there are active violations from 2021-2022 regarding failure to file required energy benchmarking reports and display energy efficiency scores. The building underwent facade work in 2020 that generated multiple violations and safety concerns, including the lack of required sidewalk sheds for overhead protection.

Despite these issues, the building has maintained a clean record regarding bedbugs, with no reported infestations in the past seven filing periods (2018-2023). Rodent inspections show mixed results; while the building passed inspections in December 2019 and 2018, there were failures noted in October 2018 and April 2012. The current owner, Nik Lizo, has been in possession of the building during this period of mixed maintenance history, which shows some improvement in recent years, particularly in pest management, though various active violations remain outstanding as of 2023.
