517 East 187th Street, Bronx, NY 10458

517 East 187th Street is a 3-story, 3-unit residential tenement building located in the Belmont neighborhood, built in 1901 and currently owned by Consolato Cicciu. The building has experienced several maintenance issues over the past several years, with the most recent concerns centered around an open Class C violation from November 2024 regarding a defective or missing self-closing door at the first-story entrance. The property has a documented history of multiple maintenance complaints from March to April 2019, including issues with plumbing, doors/windows, appliances, and walls, though most of these complaints were either closed without violations or the HPD was unable to gain access for inspection.

A significant cluster of violations was documented in March 2021, including problems with a broken window pane in Apartment 2A, building entrance doors, and public hall cleanliness, though these were subsequently closed. The building's recent inspection history shows consistent rodent control compliance, with the most recent inspections in 2023-2025 passing, although there was one instance of rat activity recorded in September 2023. Importantly, the building has maintained a clean bedbug record since the 2021-2022 reporting period, with all annual reports (2021-2024) showing zero infestations or eradications.

The property has also passed multiple rodent inspections in recent years, including inspections in March 2025 and September 2024, indicating effective pest control measures. While the building has experienced periodic maintenance issues, particularly during 2019 and 2021, most of these have been addressed and closed through proper channels. The current open violation regarding the entrance door is the only significant outstanding maintenance issue on record as of October 2023, and the building's recent rodent and bedbug inspections demonstrate improved pest management and sanitation practices.
