592 East 178th Street, Bronx, NY 10457

The three-story, three-unit building at 592 East 178th Street in Tremont, owned by Anubhav Jain, has experienced significant infrastructure and maintenance challenges over the past year. Most concerning are the currently open housing maintenance code violations from November 2024, particularly in the third-floor apartment (3), which include unresolved issues with rodent infestations (both mice and roaches) and a defective carbon monoxide detector.

Apartment 1A on the first floor has multiple open violations from the same inspection period, including water leak problems in the bathroom ceiling, various entrance door issues, and plumbing concerns involving the kitchen sink wasteline pipe. Recent activity in 2025 has shown a pattern of ongoing maintenance issues, particularly in May and June 2025, with multiple complaints and violations related to plumbing (including various fixtures like sinks, toilets, and bathtubs), appliances (notably electric/gas ranges), and interior maintenance (walls, doors, and windows).

The building has also undergone regular rodent control measures, with multiple inspections between 2023 and 2025 generally showing rat activity, though bait was applied as recently as May 2025. While the building was constructed in 2005, the persistent nature of these violations and the pattern of recent complaints suggest ongoing challenges with maintenance and habitability, though it's noteworthy that many recent HPD inspections have found conditions not violating housing laws, as indicated by closed complaint statuses.
