819 East 173rd Street, Bronx, NY 10460
The 71-unit, 6-story building at 819 East 173rd Street in East Morrisania, built in 1931 and currently owned by Hector Mathews, has experienced ongoing heating system issues in early 2025, with multiple complaints about lack of heat and hot water between January and March 2025. These complaints, categorized as emergencies, were generally resolved promptly, with HPD confirming restoration of services in most cases. The building has also faced significant infrastructure concerns, with nearly simultaneous complaints in February 2025 regarding various maintenance issues including ceiling plaster, bathroom fixtures, and door hardware.
A December 2024 inspection revealed Class C violations in apartment 1F related to water leaks and ceiling damage, along with multiple violations regarding defective self-closing doors in various locations throughout the building. The building's structural integrity has been a major concern, with several complaints between 2022 and 2023 indicating problems with building stability and floor sagging. These issues were serious enough to prompt the installation of sidewalk sheds and a partial vacate order in May 2024 due to hazardous conditions including cracked masonry, deteriorated window sills, and other facade damage.
There are also several active ECB violations from 2024 regarding failure to maintain the exterior building facade, with associated penalties. While the building has maintained a bedbug-free status in recent years (with reports showing zero infested units since 2018), rodent inspections have shown mixed results, with multiple failures to comply with standards between 2018 and 2022, though recent inspections in 2022 passed successfully. The building's maintenance history shows a pattern of recurring heating system problems, structural concerns, and various maintenance issues requiring ongoing attention.
