62 East 182nd Street, Bronx, NY 10453

62 East 182nd Street is a 6-story, 24-unit residential building located in the Fordham neighborhood of the Bronx, built in 1921 and currently owned by Juan Nichols. The building has experienced recurring issues with heating and hot water systems, most recently documented in March 2025 when HPD responded to complaints affecting both individual apartments and the entire building, though systems were reported restored during inspection.

A cluster of complaints from February 2025 indicates significant plumbing and water-related problems, including issues with multiple fixtures (toilets, bathtubs/showers, radiators), heavy water leaks, and general maintenance concerns, though inspectors were unable to gain access to verify these conditions. More recent emergency maintenance issues have been reported in June 2025, including plumbing problems with toilets and bathtubs/showers, water leaks, and unsanitary conditions potentially involving mold. The building has also faced various maintenance challenges over the past two years, including multiple Housing Maintenance Code violations.

These include open violations from April 2024 regarding defective ceramic floor tiles in Apartment 1D (bathroom and kitchen), and a December 2023 violation concerning broken plaster and paint issues in Apartment 6D. While there have been some completed violations, including the repair of a cabinet door in Apartment 6D in early 2024, several ongoing issues remain. The building has maintained relatively good pest management records, with no reported bedbug infestations since 2019 and passing rat inspections in 2024 and 2025, though there were two instances of rat activity noted in 2022 and late 2023.
