722 East 181st Street is a three-story, three-unit residential building in Belmont, constructed in 1925 and currently owned by Betty Grenshaw. The property has experienced recurring issues with heating and hot water systems, evidenced by multiple emergency complaints throughout 2024-2025, with the most recent incident occurring in June 2025.

The building has faced persistent rodent problems, with rat activity documented in inspections throughout 2024-2025, including three such findings in 2025 alone. The third-floor apartment (Apartment 3) has particularly notable ongoing maintenance issues, with several open Housing Maintenance Code violations as of 2024-2025, including problems with door frames, window frames, sink plumbing, and evidence of a mouse infestation.

The building has also had multiple complaints related to various maintenance issues in 2024, including concerns about windows, walls, and unsanitary conditions, with violations issued during inspections in September 2024. Despite numerous inspections and complaints, including several that required entry to the building during emergencies, there have been challenges with gaining access for inspectors, as evidenced by several complaints that were closed due to lack of access. The property has open violations related to the failure to file required annual bedbug reports for 2021-2024, though there is no current evidence of bedbug activity based on inspection results from these years.
