870 East 175th Street, Bronx, NY 10460
The 19-unit, 5-story residential building at 870 East 175th Street in Tremont, owned by Valerie Torres and constructed in 1910, has experienced numerous maintenance and compliance issues in recent years. Most notably in 2025, there were multiple plumbing problems involving bathtubs/showers and sinks that resulted in violations, and concerning sanitary conditions including mold issues in March 2025. The property has ongoing rodent control challenges, with most recent inspections in 2025 showing inconsistent results, though a Compliance inspection passed in April 2025.
Building systems maintenance is a significant concern, with active violations regarding external low-pressure inspection filings from 2020-2024. Apartment-specific issues include multiple violations in Apartment 4E (notably water damage, mold, and various door-related problems) documented during a November 2024 inspection, and similar issues in Apartment 5D regarding heating and hot water system deficiencies. The building has documented issues with heating and hot water systems, as evidenced by multiple complaints in January 2025 and a violation in Apartment 2F regarding inadequate heat supply from December 2024. Historical data shows a pattern of rodent activity persisting since at least 2020, with the most recent inspection in 2025 indicating ongoing challenges.
The property has also undergone various inspections for compliance with Local Law 188/17, with some inspections yielding "No Violation Warranted" findings. A serious boiler-related issue was noted in 2020 requiring cessation of use due to a corroded flue pipe, though this appears to have been resolved. Bedbug activity was reported in late 2024, affecting two units, but these were subsequently eradicated. Despite numerous violations and maintenance issues, there have been periodic compliance inspections where conditions were found to meet minimum standards, suggesting some level of ongoing maintenance and repair efforts by management.
