921 East 180th Street, Bronx, NY 10460

The 7-story, 84-unit residential building at 921 East 180th Street in West Farms, owned by Khadeidra Allen and constructed in 1997, has experienced several significant maintenance and safety issues over recent years. Most prominently, there has been an ongoing rodent management problem, with multiple complaints and inspections throughout 2025 showing consistent rat activity, though recent bait applications suggest some attempts at remediation. The building has also faced recurring heat and hot water system failures, particularly notable incidents in July and December 2021 affecting the entire building and individual apartments, though these were reportedly resolved after tenant complaints.

In early 2024, multiple unsanitary conditions related to pests and a heavy water leak were reported, with inspection access issues documented. The property has undergone several important safety and maintenance inspections and repairs. Notable violations in 2020-2022 included issues with smoke detectors, carbon monoxide detectors, and various apartment maintenance concerns in units 3G and 6E.

The elevator system has been a recurring focus of attention, with complaints about multiple devices and safety concerns leading to an Environmental Control Board violation in 2024 regarding inoperative zone lock restrictor and brake problems, which incurred a $1,250 penalty. Compliance issues have been documented regarding external low pressure inspections, with active violations as of September 2024. The building's management has also shown periodic attention to bedbug management, with the most recent annual report (2024) showing zero infested dwelling units, following a single reported case in 2023 that was successfully eradicated. While many previous violations have been resolved, including several from 2019-2020 related to building systems and safety equipment, the persistence of rodent issues and some ongoing violations suggests continuing maintenance challenges at the property.
