45 West 177th Street, Bronx, NY 10453
45 West 177th Street in Morris Heights is a 4-story, 12-unit residential building constructed in 1915 and currently owned by David Somerstein. The property has undergone various inspections and faced multiple violations over recent years, with the most notable being a recurring pattern of bedbug reporting violations between 2021 and 2024, though recent filings indicate no current infestations.
The building has demonstrated ongoing rodent control challenges, with instances of rat activity recorded in 2023, though subsequent inspections in 2024 and 2025 have consistently passed. Housing Maintenance Code violations in 2019 indicated issues with proper safety signage, including gas leak procedures and emergency contacts, though these appear to have been resolved as they were certified in August 2019. The building has faced some electrical system concerns, as evidenced by a February 2019 Environmental Control Board violation noting unsafe electrical equipment and missing panel directories, though this was subsequently resolved without an imposed penalty.
A 2018 violation regarding boiler conditions was also resolved, indicating attention to building systems maintenance. More recently, investigations in 2021-2022 included a Special Operations Compliance Inspection and a Semi-Annual Homeless Shelter Inspection, both of which resulted in no significant violations being recorded. The property's recent inspection history shows improvement in both pest control and compliance with housing regulations, with successful rodent inspections in 2024 and 2025, and multiple bedbug report filings showing no current infestations.
