1825 Topping Avenue, Bronx, NY 10457

1825 Topping Avenue is a three-story, three-unit residential building constructed in 1899 and currently owned by Michael R. The property has experienced recurring pest issues, with multiple violations and complaints related to pests between 2023 and 2025, including recent June 2025 complaints about unsanitary conditions. The building has documented electrical and plumbing concerns, with power outages and water supply issues reported in February 2025, though inspections found no violations in some cases.

A significant cluster of maintenance issues was recorded in late 2023 regarding Apartment 2R, including problems with paint surfaces, water fixtures, smoke detectors, door functionality, and pest infestations, all of which received violations that were subsequently certified as corrected in early 2024. The building has maintained relatively consistent records regarding bedbug infestations, with no reported cases in the last five years (2020-2025). Rodent activity has been a notable concern, with a pattern of rat activity observed during inspections in 2022-2024, though some inspections resulted in passing grades. Recent violations from 2024-2025 include issues with building cleanliness and door hardware, though many older violations from 2023-2024 have been certified as corrected.

While the building has experienced multiple emergency service requests in recent years, most inspections did not result in housing law violations being issued, and many complaints have been closed without finding violations, suggesting some issues may not have met the threshold for regulatory non-compliance. The property has undergone regular inspections and received various citations over the years, with most violations being addressed and closed through proper certification processes. The building's owners have demonstrated responsiveness to some maintenance issues, as evidenced by the certification of violations as corrected, though the frequency of certain recurring issues (especially pests) suggests ongoing maintenance challenges. The most recent service requests from June 2025 were related to mold, water supply, and pest concerns, with at least one resulting in issued violations, indicating some continued challenges with building maintenance and resident comfort.
