1757 Topping Avenue, Bronx, NY 10457

1757 Topping Avenue is a 4-story, 20-unit residential building constructed in 1911, currently owned by Jimmie Fluker. The building has experienced recurring heating system issues, with three documented heating and hot water complaints in the past year alone (most recently in March 2025), following a pattern of similar complaints dating back to 2021.

Additionally, several significant maintenance issues have been recorded, including ongoing pest control challenges in apartment 1C (as of October 2024), safety violations regarding door modifications in the lobby area, and past concerns about carbon monoxide and smoke detection systems in 2022. The building has also faced infrastructure challenges, with multiple plumbing and water leak complaints between 2021-2022, and two active Environmental Control Board violations from 2021 regarding drainage and tree damage issues in the backyard, each carrying a $500 penalty. Recent inspections have shown improved conditions in some areas, with all rodent inspections passed since 2022, though there were failures noted in 2022 that required attention.

The building's management has consistently responded to heat and water complaints, often restoring services before inspections could confirm the issues. While the building appears to have maintained compliance with bedbug reporting requirements, with no reported infestations in the past three filing periods, the recurring nature of heat and maintenance issues suggests ongoing challenges with building systems and infrastructure. The property has an active violation from 2023 regarding failure to file an external low-pressure inspection, which remains unresolved as of the latest available data.
