53 East 177th Street, Bronx, NY 10453

The 81-unit, 8-story residential building at 53 East 177th Street, owned by Eli Fisher and completed in 2022, has experienced several significant maintenance issues in its relatively short history. Most notably, in June 2025, there were multiple immediate emergency plumbing/water supply issues affecting the entire building, along with a building-wide heat/hot water emergency.

The property has also faced recurring problems with sanitary conditions, including multiple sewage-related complaints and pest-related issues between February and March 2025, though inspections generally did not reveal violations of housing laws. A comprehensive elevator inspection is currently active as of June 2025. The building's earlier history shows various construction-related issues, including several "CSE: Sweep" complaints between 2023-2025, though most were resolved without violation.

In 2023, there were temporary concerns about debris and site conditions, resulting in stop work orders that were subsequently rescinded. Notably, the building's bedbug reports for the periods ending October 2023 and October 2024 show zero infestations, indicating effective pest management. Two violations related to the property were recorded in 2021, one concerning a collapse zone situation that was ultimately dismissed, and another involving failure to certify correction on an immediately hazardous violation that was paid and dismissed in 2022.
