Augrented Insights Report for 579 East 178th Street

The 11-unit, 4-story tenement building at 579 East 178th Street in Tremont, built in 1931 and currently owned by Consolato Cicciu, has experienced several notable maintenance and safety issues over recent years. Most concerning are recurring rodent problems, with the most recent inspections in 2025 indicating rat activity, following similar findings in 2022 and 2024. The building underwent significant violations in 2023, including fire safety issues, with multiple citations for defective fire retardant materials and maintenance concerns in public areas.

A carbon monoxide detector issue was also reported as an emergency in late 2023, though it was subsequently closed. The property has a documented history of various maintenance challenges, including door/window problems (with a specific issue in apartment 1A in 2023), unsanitary conditions related to garbage storage (2019), and past boiler-related violations. The boiler issues were particularly concerning, with violations in 2018 and 2019 related to safety equipment and maintenance, though these were ultimately resolved.

The building's fire escape access has been a concern, with violations in 2021 regarding blocked egress pathways. While the building has maintained an apparently pest-free record regarding bedbugs since 2020, the persistent rodent activity and periodic maintenance violations suggest ongoing challenges with building upkeep and resident comfort. Recent inspections show a mix of compliance and violations regarding rodent control, with at least one initial inspection passing in 2024, though this appears to be an exception rather than the rule.
