716 East 181st Street, Bronx, NY 10457

The three-story, three-unit building at 716 East 181st Street in the Belmont neighborhood, owned by Berish Glick and constructed in 1925, has experienced significant maintenance challenges in recent years, particularly regarding its heating and pest control systems. The most pressing current issue, as of April 2024, is an open violation for rodent infestations (mice and roaches) in Apartment 2, though it previously had multiple similar violations throughout 2022-2023.

The building has experienced recurring heating problems, with 9 documented complaints about lack of heat/hot water in early 2023 alone, resulting in multiple inspections and violations. Additional concerns include a period of indoor air quality issues due to construction dust in early 2023, and several months of pest control efforts documented through rodent inspections showing both "Passed" and "Failed for Other Reasons" results between 2022 and 2025.

The building's history shows various maintenance and safety concerns, including missing smoke and carbon monoxide detectors in Apartment 1 (2022), hot water and heating system access issues identified in 2023, and unauthorized work-related complaints in late 2022 through early 2023. Despite these challenges, more recent inspections (2024-2025) indicate improved compliance with basic requirements, as evidenced by passing rodent inspections and the absence of new bedbug infestations since late 2023. The building's record suggests ongoing attention is needed to address recurring heating system failures, though recent remediation efforts appear to have temporarily reduced some of the most serious habitability concerns, such as bedbugs and many pest-related violations.
