1760 Topping Avenue, Bronx, NY 10457

1760 Topping Avenue is a 3-story, 3-unit residential tenement building located in Mount Hope and owned by Dov Feldheim, constructed in 1899. The building has experienced recurring heat and hot water issues over the past few years, with emergency complaints logged in January 2025, July 2023, December 2022, November 2022, and other instances. The most recent complaint from January 2025 regarding heat and hot water for the entire building was closed due to HPD's inability to gain access for inspection.

The building has also faced multiple environmental challenges, including mold problems, with several 2022 complaints (January and December) related to this issue, though inspections were conducted under different circumstances (some apartment-specific, others building-wide). Water leak issues were reported in January 2022, and there was an immediate emergency complaint regarding ceiling paint/plaster in November 2020. Recent regulatory compliance appears to be improving, with rodent inspections in 2025 and 2024 passing, though there were periods of rat activity noted in early 2024.

The building's bedbug reporting shows no infestations for the periods ending October 2023 and October 2021, suggesting successful eradication efforts. Housing Maintenance Code violations currently include open cases from December 2022 related to inadequate heat supply and a roach infestation in apartment 3FL, as well as accessibility issues with the building's heating system. Previous violations have included problems with smoke detectors, carbon monoxide detectors, and a mold issue in apartment 1 identified in January 2022, though many historical violations have been addressed and closed. The building has maintained consistent rodent control measures, with all previous inspections from 2020 through 2023 showing passed results before the notations of rat activity in early 2024.
