609 East 179th Street, Bronx, NY 10457

609 East 179th Street is a three-story, three-unit residential building located in Tremont, completed in 2005 and currently owned by Nezir Hoseinovic. The building has experienced several maintenance issues over the past few years, most notably a heat and hot water outage in June 2022 that prompted emergency responses from both HPD and Housing Maintenance, though these services were reportedly restored shortly thereafter.

While there have been no documented bedbug infestations since regular reporting began in 2019, there have been periodic rodent issues that suggest some ongoing pest management challenges. Specifically, in June 2022, there were two documented instances of rat activity, followed by bait applications in July 2022 and August 2021.

More recently, rodent inspections conducted throughout 2022-2025 have generally shown improvement, with all inspections from December 2022 through June 2025 passing, indicating successful pest management efforts. The building's maintenance history suggests attention to regulatory compliance, particularly regarding heat/hot water systems and pest control, though the single incident of heat/hot water failure in 2022 stands out as the most significant resident comfort issue on record.
