247 East 176th Street, Bronx, NY 10457

The three-story, two-unit building at 247 East 176th Street in Mount Hope, owned by 247 E176 Bx LLC, has experienced several maintenance issues in recent months. Most concerning are three unresolved complaints from April 2025 regarding unsanitary conditions (mold), wall damage (paint/plaster), and floor issues, all of which HPD was unable to inspect despite being filed as emergency complaints.

The building has faced multiple infrastructure challenges throughout 2025, including an open heat/hot water issue affecting the entire building (classified as an emergency), and resolved complaints related to electrical problems (power outage), plumbing (water supply), general gas issues, and garbage/recycling storage concerns from March 2025. A notable incident occurred in March 2025 when multiple complaints were filed simultaneously, though most were eventually closed without violations being found. In the latter part of 2024, the building experienced a heavy water leak and wall damage (paint/plaster), both of which were investigated by HPD without any violations being recorded.

The property has undergone three Department of Buildings inspections in 2022-2023, all related to sweeps, which resulted in no violations being found. Encouragingly, during the most recent bedbug reporting period for 2023-2024 (filed in December 2024), there were no reported infestations or related issues in the building. The consistent pattern of maintenance complaints, particularly regarding heat/hot water and unsanitary conditions, suggests ongoing challenges with building maintenance, though it's worth noting that many complaints have been resolved without violations being recorded.
