1745 Topping Avenue, Bronx, NY 10457

The three-story building at 1745 Topping Avenue in Mount Hope, owned by Kristina Orozco, has a documented history of maintenance issues primarily between 2018 and 2021. The property experienced multiple plumbing-related complaints in 2021 regarding basin/sink issues, which were classified as emergencies but were closed without inspection due to lack of access. Prior to this, in 2020, there was an emergency complaint about ceiling paint/plaster problems that was similarly closed without inspection.

A heat and hot water emergency complaint from December 2018 was resolved within a week. Most notably, the building has open violations dating back to 2022 through 2024 related to the failure to file annual bedbug reports as required by the Housing Maintenance Code, with multiple inspections confirming this violation. Recent inspections of the property have shown consistent rodent control compliance, with the building passing all nine rodent inspections conducted between 2019 and 2025, indicating effective pest management practices.

The most recent rodent inspection in March 2025 continues this trend of maintaining a pest-free environment. While the building has had several maintenance issues in the past, the current inspection records suggest improved conditions, particularly regarding rodent control. It is important to note that while there have been multiple bedbug report violations over the years, the building's documented history shows no confirmed bedbug infestations during the reporting periods, with the 2021 bedbug report showing zero infested, eradicated, or re-infested dwelling units.
