765 East 175th Street, Bronx, NY 10460

The 6-story, 49-unit apartment building at 765 East 175th Street in Tremont, owned by Shaul Koplowitz, has experienced numerous maintenance issues from late 2023 through 2025, with several active violations and ongoing maintenance concerns. Most notably, there is an active ECB violation as of December 2024 regarding building wall maintenance, with identified issues including spalling brickwork and defective window sills on multiple floors (penalty: $2,500).

The building has multiple open violations from a November 2024 inspection, including roof leaks affecting public hall ceilings on both the 1st and 6th stories, and gas supply issues in apartment 63 (6th floor). Recent tenant complaints have clustered around cooking gas (multiple instances in 2025), ceiling and floor issues, and a notable lack of heating/hot water in January 2025, with several resulting in HPD violations. The property has undergone various inspections and repairs over the past few years, with some improvements noted in previous violations, such as window repairs in apartment 63 completed by January 2025.

However, there remain significant outstanding issues including elevator service concerns (multiple complaints in early 2025) and ongoing lead dust concerns in common areas as of January 2025. The building's infrastructure problems extend to the exterior, with multiple ECB violations regarding the facade condition, including issues with the building's fire safety materials and facade maintenance. While the building has maintained a pest-free record for bedbugs over the past several years, rodent activity has been documented in 2022, though a passed inspection in January 2025 suggests recent improvements in pest management.
