233 East 176th Street, Bronx, NY 10457

The 16-unit, 4-story building at 233 East 176th Street in Mount Hope, built in 1912 and owned by Sol Berger, has experienced numerous maintenance issues in recent months. Between January and July 2025, there were multiple reports of water leaks (including one heavy flow leak in June 2025 that could not be inspected), unsanitary conditions including garbage/recycling storage issues (May 2025), and various plumbing problems including sink issues and radiator concerns.

The building has also faced significant issues with pest infestations, particularly in Apartment 1C, where violations for roaches, mice, and other conditions were documented in late 2024. Additional maintenance concerns documented in 2025 include problems with paint/plaster on walls and ceilings, flooring issues, and heating/hot water problems affecting the entire building. The property has a history of rodent activity, with several inspections in 2024-2025 showing rat activity, though most recent inspections in June 2025 showed compliance.

The building's age has been a factor in various maintenance issues, with multiple violations issued for different problems that the law requires the property owner to address within a specified time frame. While there have been some positive developments such as recent inspections showing compliance, the building continues to face ongoing maintenance challenges that require attention. Additionally, the building has maintained a zero count for bedbug infestations in the most recent reporting periods (2022-2025), though there were some cases noted in earlier years (2019-2020).
