630 West 246th Street, Bronx, NY 10471

The 13-story residential building at 630 West 246th Street in Riverdale, owned by Carole Pittelman and constructed in 1958, has experienced several concerning maintenance issues in recent years. Most notably, in the first half of 2025, there were multiple plumbing-water supply emergencies reported, and in January 2025, there was a documented issue with chemical vapors/odors that required an advisory to the property management.

The building has a documented history of heating and hot water problems, with complaints in both December 2024 and January 2025, though inspections found no violations in these cases. The building has also faced persistent pest control challenges, with multiple reports of unsanitary conditions and pest sightings between 2024 and 2025. There was a significant fire incident in apartment 1204 on the 12th floor in late 2024, and apartment 211 on the 2nd floor had documented mold and roach infestation issues in 2022.

The property has received several Environmental Control Board violations, including a failure to submit required reports regarding exterior walls and parking structures, with penalties totaling over $3,000. While there have been multiple rat activity inspections showing ongoing rodent presence between 2022 and 2024, bedbug reports show no infestations in recent years. The building's management has generally responded to violations and complaints, with most being resolved or certified as corrected, including recent December 2024 violations in apartment 1105 related to light fixtures and plaster surfaces.
