911 East 178th Street, Bronx, NY 10460

911 East 178th Street is a three-story, three-unit New Law tenement building constructed in 1909 and currently owned by Maritza Cancel. The property has experienced several significant maintenance issues in recent years, with the most pressing concerns emerging in April 2023 when multiple heat/hot water emergencies were reported, along with problems related to electrical systems, appliances, and intercoms.

During this same period, the building received housing maintenance code violations in Apartment 1, including an active Class C violation regarding roach infestation, along with issues related to peeling paint, refrigerator door gasket, and electrical outlet problems. Two health-related incidents were recorded in 2022, involving a sewage leak and a drinking water-related complaint, though both were investigated with no violations found by the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene. The building has shown some improvement in terms of pest management, with the 2024 bedbug report indicating no infested units or re-infestations, following previous reports in 2021 and 2022 showing similar results.

A rodent inspection conducted in January 2025 passed, maintaining a pattern of successful inspections since 2015, with only one failure noted in March 2015. While the property has undergone various inspections and complaint investigations over the years, the recent cluster of maintenance issues in 2023, particularly regarding heat and appliance functionality, suggests ongoing challenges with building systems. However, it's worth noting that many of the 2023 complaints were closed without violations being issued, and the building has maintained a generally successful record in pest and rodent control inspections.
