810 East 178th Street, Bronx, NY 10460

810 East 178th Street is a 5-story, 20-unit New Law tenement building located in Tremont and owned by Lillian Gueits. The building, constructed in 1911, has experienced several maintenance and safety issues in recent years, with the most significant cluster of violations occurring in early 2024.

These included an open Class C violation for a defective street entrance lock, questions about self-closing doors, and various safety device failures in Apartment B on the first story, including issues with carbon monoxide detectors, smoke detectors, and door mechanisms. A notable unsolved violation dates back to 2021 concerning an unauthorized suspended ceiling alteration in Apartment B. The building has two active Department of Buildings violations for failing to file inspection reports from 2017 and 2018 for its boiler and low-pressure systems, respectively.

Despite these violations, there have been no reported bedbug infestations in the past three reporting periods (2022-2025), and the most recent rodent inspection in January 2025 resulted in a passing score, continuing a pattern of successful rodent control demonstrated by previous inspections since 2013. The bedbug reporting history shows consistent compliance with the requirement to file reports, with records indicating zero infested units in each of the last three filings. While the building has maintained a relatively clean record regarding pest control and bedbug management, the outstanding safety violations and unfiled inspection requirements are notable concerns, having been observed over multiple years, though many other violations from 2024 were subsequently closed through resolution.
