5235 Post Road, Bronx, NY 10471

The six-story, 68-unit residential building at 5235 Post Road in Fieldston, owned by Yolanda Garcia, has experienced recurring plumbing and sanitation issues in recent years, with multiple emergency complaints and violations related to sewage and water supply problems. Most notably, there have been three plumbing-related emergencies reported in June 2025, along with significant sewage issues in July 2024 that involved flooding and mold problems.

The building has multiple open violations from 2024, including concerns about the wood floor in apartment 1C, various safety notices that need to be properly posted or updated, and issues with the building's front retaining walls. The property has a history of infrastructure challenges, including past violations related to elevator inspections in 2020-2023 and a fire door issue in 2024, though all were ultimately resolved or dismissed. The building has demonstrated compliance with bedbug reporting requirements, showing no infestations or need for treatment since at least 2019, and passed a rodent inspection in 2017.

Despite the ongoing maintenance issues, the building has generally responded promptly to emergency situations, with most recent complaints being closed within a few days of filing. The property underwent a Local Law 188/17 compliance inspection in May 2025, with no violations noted at that time, indicating some attention to regulatory requirements. However, the pattern of plumbing and sanitation-related complaints suggests ongoing challenges with building systems and infrastructure maintenance.
