1750 Topping Avenue, Bronx, NY 10457

The 10-unit, 3-story apartment building at 1750 Topping Avenue in Mount Hope, built in 1911 and currently owned by 1750 Topping Ave LLC, has experienced recurring issues with heating and hot water systems, most recently documented in September 2024, when two separate complaints about building-wide heat/hot water problems were recorded. The building has a significant history of electrical system issues, particularly in early 2022, when multiple power outages and wiring problems were reported. Infrastructure maintenance has been a persistent concern, as evidenced by multiple Housing Maintenance Code violations issued in 2024, including defective fire escape components, exterior wall repairs needed, and issues with heating systems.

The property has undergone various inspections related to pest management, with no bedbug infestations reported in the most recent two annual filings (2023-2024 and 2022-2023). However, there have been ongoing rodent control challenges, with multiple inspections in 2024 showing rat activity, including recent compliance inspections. Recent building issues include violations regarding a broken bulkhead door lock, and earlier structural concerns involved cracked bricks and mortar repair requirements.

The building's management history reveals several enforcement actions and violation notices, including multiple instances of failing to certify corrections of immediately hazardous conditions between 2021-2022, though these were ultimately dismissed by the Department of Buildings. The property has also been subject to multiple illegal conversion investigations between 2020-2023, with some investigations showing access denial. While most recent violations have been closed, the building continues to require attention to its heating, electrical, and pest management systems as of 2025.
