756 East 175th Street, Bronx, NY 10457

The 38-unit, 5-story building at 756 East 175th Street in Tremont, owned by Consolato Cicciu, has experienced significant maintenance issues over the past 18 months, particularly related to heating and water systems. Between November 2024 and March 2025, there were multiple complaints and violations regarding heat and hot water throughout the building and in individual apartments, with several instances of HPD being unable to gain access for inspections. Most recently, in May 2025, there was a sewage odor complaint investigated by DOHMH.

The building has also faced some infrastructure challenges, with an open heavy water leak complaint from March 2025. Notable violations from late 2024 include a bed bug infestation in apartment 5C (though resolved by December 2024), multiple fire escape maintenance issues, and problems with self-closing doors in public hallways. The property has undergone regular rodent inspections, with the most recent one in January 2025 passing, though there were failures recorded in 2017 and 2015.

The building's maintenance history shows some patterns, including recurring heating system problems and intermittent apartment-specific issues with hot water. Notably, there have been multiple instances where HPD inspectors were unable to gain access to units for necessary inspections, which can delay resolution of reported issues. While there have been some improvements, as evidenced by various violations being certified as corrected, the recent pattern of heating and water-related complaints suggests ongoing challenges with building systems. The most recent bed bug filings from 2021 through 2024 show generally low infestation levels, with only one unit affected in 2021 and none in recent years.
