607 Nereid Avenue, Bronx, NY 10470

The 2-story, 4-unit residential building at 607 Nereid Avenue in Wakefield, currently owned by Nereid Funding Corp, has experienced recurring heating system issues in early 2024, with multiple complaints about inadequate heat and hot water affecting both individual apartments and the entire building. These problems prompted several emergency responses from the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) between January and February 2024, resulting in the issuance of multiple violations regarding heating and hot water supply in apartments 1F and 1R.

In addition to the heating issues, the building has faced various maintenance challenges, including door and window problems (January 2024), electrical issues (January 2024), and plumbing concerns. The building's maintenance history shows a pattern of structural and safety issues requiring attention, with notable violations in 2024 including defective self-closing doors in the first-story vestibule and public hall, along with problems with the building's entrance door lock. There is also an active violation from June 2023 regarding failure to file the 2021 External Low Pressure Inspection.

While the building has undergone several rodent inspections between 2010 and 2018, these inspections consistently resulted in failures for "Other Reasons," indicating ongoing pest control challenges. However, it is worth noting that there have been no reported bedbug infestations in the building for the past five years (2019-2024), and the most recent pest control records show no active infestations. The building's age (constructed in 1931) and the pattern of maintenance issues suggest ongoing challenges with systems and infrastructure, particularly regarding heating and security systems.
