111 East 172nd Street, Bronx, NY 10452

The 14-story, 126-unit building at 111 East 172nd Street in Mount Eden, owned by Christopher Lacovara and completed in 2017, has experienced several significant maintenance issues over the past year, with active violations and ongoing concerns as of mid-2025. Most notably, there have been recurring problems with heating and hot water systems, including a building-wide outage reported in both January and May 2025. The building also has an active Environmental Control Board violation from May 2024 regarding elevator service issues, with penalties totaling over $900 due to non-compliance.

There are multiple open Housing Maintenance Code violations as of September 2024, including concerns about garbage management in the 13th-floor compactor closet and a wired glass pane issue in the building's stairway. Recent inspection records reveal persistent pest control challenges, with the most recent bedbug report (for 2023-2024) documenting infestations in four units, though all were noted as eradicated. Rodent activity has been documented through multiple inspections in 2024-2025, indicating ongoing sanitation challenges.

The building has experienced various systems maintenance issues, with multiple Housing Maintenance Code complaints in 2025 regarding plumbing, safety systems, and appliance problems, particularly during the spring months. The property's maintenance history shows some pattern of recurring issues with basic services, while also demonstrating attempts at remediation, as evidenced by the closure of several service requests after indicated corrections. While the building's construction is relatively recent (2017), the maintenance history suggests significant challenges with building systems and pest control that have persisted since its completion.
