676 East 179th Street, Bronx, NY 10457
The four-story, 10-unit tenement building at 676 East 179th Street in Tremont, owned by Aviram Chen, has experienced recurring maintenance and safety issues over recent years, with the most significant concentration of problems occurring in and around 2024. Recent violations from May 2024 include concerns about mold in apartment 3A, missing smoke and carbon monoxide detectors in 3A, and pest control issues. The building has multiple open and recently closed violations regarding electrical safety, including problems with Christmas lights on fire escapes, and various maintenance issues including wall and ceiling repairs.
A pattern of pest-related problems is evident, with several 311 complaints about unsanitary conditions and multiple violations related to "bug sweets" from 2022 to 2023. The building has also experienced issues with window safety, including a broken window guard in early 2024, though most recent 311 service requests have not resulted in violations. Documentation indicates the building has active violations related to external low-pressure inspections that have not been filed from 2018-2021, and a rat activity report from January 2025 suggests ongoing pest management challenges.
A 311 complaint from March 2024 regarding door issues, and various maintenance problems with appliances and walls, have generally been resolved without resulting in formal violations. While the building has maintained a bedbug-free status according to reports from 2022, 2023, and 2024, the overall pattern of repeated violations and maintenance issues suggests continuing challenges with building upkeep and resident safety. The most recent rodent inspection in March 2025 passed, though an earlier January 2025 inspection noted rat activity, indicating fluctuating pest management success.
