347 East 173rd Street, Bronx, NY 10457

347 East 173rd Street is a 5-story, 21-unit New Law Tenement building constructed in 1912, currently owned by Barry Weiss. The building has experienced persistent heating and hot water system issues, with eight documented complaints between October 2023 and February 2025, including three separate incidents in February 2025 alone.

While some of these complaints were resolved promptly, at least one incident resulted in issued violations in October 2023 (affecting apartment 4C's hot water system), and multiple emergencies were recorded through the Housing Maintenance Code. The building has also had various maintenance issues, including a power outage in July 2022, plumbing problems in July 2023, and several violations in apartment 4D in 2022 related to mold, pest infestation, safety equipment, and maintenance issues, all of which were subsequently certified as corrected. The property has maintained a clean record regarding bedbug infestations, with no reported cases in the past five years according to the required reporting periods.

Additionally, rodent inspections show mostly passing results, with the most recent inspection in February 2025 passing. The building's management has demonstrated responsiveness to most emergency complaints, though the recurring nature of heating system issues suggests ongoing infrastructure challenges. Recent documentation shows the building has maintained compliance with bedbug reporting requirements and generally passed regular rodent inspections, indicating some stability in pest management practices despite past infestations.
