370 East 173rd Street, Bronx, NY 10457

370 East 173rd Street is a three-story, three-unit Old Law Tenement building located in Claremont Village and owned by Frankie Goris. The building, constructed in 1901, has experienced recurring maintenance challenges, particularly relating to water supply issues, with multiple plumbing complaints documented between 2021 and 2023, including recent emergency complaints in December 2023.

Pest-related problems have also affected the building, with an unsanitary condition complaint in June 2022 documenting both roach and bedbug infestations in the third-floor apartment, which appears to have been recurring as indicated by multiple bedbug violation notices. The property underwent significant scrutiny in 2018, when several violations were issued for serious structural and maintenance issues, including sagging floors, disrepair of cellar wood joists, exposed electrical wires, and unauthorized work throughout the building, resulting in penalties totaling $2,500.

More recently, between 2024 and 2025, the building has been subject to multiple rat activity reports, with inspections frequently indicating rodent presence despite bait application efforts, suggesting an ongoing pest management challenge. The most recent bedbug report filed in July 2025 showed no current infestations, though violations related to annual reporting requirements were noted in 2022-2023. While some issues have been resolved, including the 2018 violations, the building continues to experience periodic maintenance challenges, particularly concerning plumbing and pest management, as evidenced by recent complaints and inspection results.
