73 West 174th Street, Bronx, NY 10453

The two-story, five-unit building at 73 West 174th Street in Morris Heights, owned by Huda Baum and constructed in 1925, has experienced recurring issues with heating and water systems over the past several years. Most notably, there have been multiple heat and hot water complaints between 2019 and 2024, with two emergency complaints in 2024 and 2023 specifically noting problems with the entire building's heat and hot water systems. A concerning recent complaint from May 2025 regarding unsanitary conditions related to garbage and recycling storage remains open.

The building underwent a detailed inspection in 2022 that revealed several maintenance issues in Apartment 1R, including infestations of roaches and mice, inoperable smoke and carbon monoxide detectors, and problems with self-closing doors. This apartment also experienced multiple heat and hot water complaints in January 2022, though inspections did not reveal violations in other areas such as flooring and window frames. The property's maintenance history shows a mix of resolved violations and persistent infrastructure concerns.

A violation from 2022 noted excessively hot water (over 130 degrees) in Apartment 2F, while inspections in 2019 found locked access to the heating system boiler room door as a violation. The building has passed its most recent rodent inspections in May 2025 and November 2024, though there was a report of rat activity noted in October 2024. Bedbug reports over multiple years from 2018 to 2025 show no documented cases, with all reporting periods indicating zero infested or re-infested units.
