988 East 180Th Street, Bronx, NY 10460

This 163-unit, 18-story residential building located at 988 East 180th Street in West Farms was completed in 2017 and is currently owned by Stacey Berry. The building has experienced recurring infrastructure issues in recent months, particularly concerning heat/hot water services and electrical systems. In February 2025 alone, there were multiple complaints about heat/hot water problems and power outages, some of which were classified as emergencies by Housing Preservation and Development (HPD). Several recent complaints indicate difficulties with HPD inspections, with some unable to gain access to affected units.

The building has two active elevator-related complaints as of June 2025, and has had multiple similar complaints since 2021, though previous inspections found no violations. The property has documented rodent activity in recent years, with the most recent rodent inspection in March 2025 showing passed compliance but an initial inspection in January 2025 noting rat activity. Various maintenance issues have been identified through Housing Maintenance Code violations, including electrical system problems and pest infestations in apartments 9G and 11J as of December 2024, though some violations were subsequently closed. The building's management has faced scrutiny for failure to display energy efficiency scores and for not filing required inspections in 2023-2024, with these violations currently active.

While there have been bedbug reports in the past, the most recent report from December 2024 indicated no active infestations or re-infestations. The property's maintenance history shows a pattern of addressing violations, though some issues remain unresolved. The building has undergone regular inspections and received various permits since its construction, including for new building work, plumbing, and electrical systems. The cumulative records suggest ongoing challenges with building systems and infrastructure, particularly during the winter months, though regular inspections and compliance checks indicate some level of maintenance response from building management.
