372 East 173rd Street, Bronx, NY 10457

The three-story, three-unit tenement building at 372 East 173rd Street in Claremont Village, dating back to 1901 and currently owned by Gil Regev, has experienced recurring maintenance issues in recent years, with particularly notable problems in heating systems and pest control. The most recent significant concern was an emergency mold situation reported in June 2025, followed by ongoing rodent activity as evidenced by multiple bait applications throughout 2024-2025. The building has a documented history of heating system failures, with no heat or hot water complaints filed in December 2022 and January 2022, though in both cases HPD reported that service had been restored.

The property has faced multiple pest-related incidents, including rat and mice infestations in 2022, for which violations were issued, and the building was inspected for bedbugs in 2023-2025 with no reported infestations. Structural concerns have emerged, including a February 2024 violation for defective self-closing doors at the building entrance, which was recorded as an "Open" violation. Notably, the building underwent inspections in 2018 for illegal conversion and structural stability issues, resulting in Oath Violations being served.

The property has received consistent attention from pest control services, with regular bait applications reported throughout 2024-2025. Housing Maintenance Code violations have been addressed, including a 2022 requirement to abate rodent infestations, though some violations remain open as of the latest inspections. The building's maintenance record shows a pattern of addressing emergency situations promptly, while also revealing recurring issues that suggest ongoing challenges with building systems and pest management. The most recent bedbug reports from 2025 indicate no infestations during the reporting period, suggesting effective management of this particular issue.
