29 West 174th Street, Bronx, NY 10453

The property at 29 West 174th Street in Morris Heights, owned by 29 Sz As Llc, is a two-story, two-unit building constructed in 1930 that has been converted to class A designation. The building has experienced persistent heating and hot water system issues, with multiple complaints filed in late 2024 and throughout 2025, including emergency service requests in June 2025 and three instances in December 2024 where inspectors were unable to gain access to verify the conditions.

The building has also faced ongoing maintenance challenges, including a significant water leak incident in May 2025 and multiple pest-related complaints in June 2025, with violations issued by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) that required remediation by the property owner. Additional concerns include a flooring issue reported in December 2024, and several Department of Buildings complaints regarding unauthorized work, including plumbing work without proper permits in late 2024 and illegal after-hours work in March 2024; however, no violations were found upon inspection in these cases.

While there were no bedbug infestations reported for the most recent filing period (November 2023 - October 2024), the building's maintenance history suggests ongoing challenges with basic services and infrastructure. The property's two-unit configuration and location in a mixed-use neighborhood are typical for the Morris Heights area, but the frequency and nature of recent complaints raise concerns about building maintenance and resident comfort. The complaints and violations documented in recent months indicate a pattern of inadequate response to basic service issues, particularly concerning heat and hot water availability, which have been persistent problems since at least December 2024.
