28 West 182nd Street, Bronx, NY 10453

The 30-unit, 6-story residential building at 28 West 182nd Street in University Heights, built in 1927 and currently owned by Kenny Nasab, has experienced persistent maintenance issues over recent years. As of January 2025, the building was facing multiple violations, including active water leak problems (both slow and heavy flow), ceiling damage, and electrical issues. There are significant outstanding violations from 2024 that require attention, including issues with lead paint hazards in Apartment 3D, water leaks in the vestibule, and a need to repair fire retardant materials in common areas.

The building's elevator system has been a recurring concern, with multiple complaints about being out of service between 2022-2024, and current violations related to safety features that remain unresolved. Recent inspections have revealed structural and safety concerns, including problems with the building's exterior facade, such as bowed walls, damaged window lintels, and spalling coping stone. The property has active ECB violations regarding egress obstruction and exterior maintenance that carry significant fines.

There have also been persistent rodent activity issues, with multiple inspections in 2024-2025 confirming rat activity. While the building has consistently reported no bedbug infestations in the past six years, the overall maintenance history shows a pattern of unresolved violations and recurring maintenance issues, particularly related to water damage, elevator service, and exterior building conditions. The property appears to be in need of ongoing repair and maintenance attention, with multiple open violations and safety concerns documented through both HPD and DOB channels.
