962 East 172nd Street, Bronx, NY 10460

The 25-unit, 5-story tenement building at 962 East 172nd Street in East Morrisania, owned by Henry Olmo and constructed in 1931, is currently facing several notable maintenance issues as of July 2025. The building has recent violations from late 2024 primarily focused on safety concerns, including defective self-closing doors at both the 1st public hall bulkhead and 5th-story bulkhead that require repairs.

Apartment 2C, in particular, has multiple open violations from July 2024, including issues with water leaks affecting both the kitchen and third room walls, multiple problems with plaster surfaces and paint uniformity around windows, bathroom ceiling issues, and concerns regarding a key-operated locking device on the fire escape door. The building's maintenance history shows a recurring pattern of plumbing-related issues, most recently documented in 2023, and various other maintenance matters.

While the building has maintained an apparently pest-free status according to the bedbug reporting records from 2019 through 2024, with no reported infestations, there have been multiple successful rodent inspections between 2010 and 2022, all passing. The most recent housing maintenance code violations indicate active attention is needed to address both safety and habitability concerns, particularly in the common areas and apartment 2C, though some complaints, such as the 2023 plumbing issue, were closed due to lack of access for inspection.
