456 East 182nd Street, Bronx, NY 10457

The three-story, three-unit New Law tenement at 456 East 182nd Street in Belmont, built in 1899, has experienced persistent maintenance and safety issues in recent years. Most notably, there has been an ongoing rodent infestation problem, with multiple rat activity detections recorded between August 2024 and May 2025, despite repeated bait application interventions.

The building has also faced significant plumbing challenges, particularly in 2021 when multiple water supply-related complaints were filed and violations were issued, though these were eventually closed. There are several active Housing Maintenance Code violations from 2022-2024 related to bedbug reporting requirements, and 2021 violations concerning inadequate water supply and an infestation in Apartment 1, though some of these violations are marked as closed. The property has a history of exterior maintenance challenges, including multiple Department of Buildings violations related to the vinyl siding and building walls.

In 2018-2022, violations were documented regarding unsecured and dislodged vinyl siding, water damage to the entrance ceiling, and failure to comply with repair orders, resulting in various penalties totaling $15,000 in active fines. Recent inspections of the building's exterior conditions were performed in late 2022, when a hanging siding issue was addressed and dismissed after netting was provided to secure the materials. The building's maintenance record shows a pattern of recurring issues, particularly regarding water supply, pests, and exterior maintenance, though some violations have been resolved or closed through subsequent remediation efforts.
