878 East 176th Street, Bronx, NY 10460
The 5-story, 21-unit apartment building at 878 East 176th Street in Tremont, owned by Juan Castro, has experienced significant maintenance and habitability issues since 2024. The most pressing concerns have been recurring problems with heating and hot water systems, with eight documented complaints between December 2024 and March 2025, most of which were resolved after HPD intervention. The building has also faced ongoing rodent infestations, with multiple inspections in 2024-2025 indicating rat activity, though bait was applied in response.
Recent structural and maintenance issues include window frame problems (December 2024 and March 2025), a minor mold issue in Apartment 2A, and various plumbing and electrical maintenance needs. The building's history shows some persistent violations that have required multiple inspections and interventions. In December 2024, violations were documented regarding water leaks, ceiling issues, and pest infestations in Apartment 1B, including evidence of both mice and cockroach problems.
The property has maintained a clean record for bedbug infestations over the past five years, with no reported cases since 2020. Notable Department of Buildings (DOB) violations from 2020-2021 included issues with exterior walls, requiring a sidewalk shed for safety during repairs. While some historical violations were resolved, including facade repairs and building permits issued in 2020, the more recent focus has been primarily on systems maintenance and pest control.
