12 West 183rd Street, Bronx, NY 10453

The 2-family house at 12 West 183rd Street in University Heights, currently owned by Samir Nagi, has experienced several significant maintenance issues over recent years. Most notably, there have been recurring problems with vermin, including a recent 2024 Housing Maintenance Code violation regarding rodent infestation at the building front.

The property has a documented history of heat and hot water issues, with complaints in 2019 and 2022 requiring emergency responses, though records indicate restoration of services in at least one instance. Between 2018 and 2024, the second-floor apartment (2F) has faced multiple maintenance challenges, including documented mold problems affecting multiple rooms and the bathroom, resulting in several violations that were ultimately closed when addressed. Recent complaints suggest persistent environmental concerns, including a December 2023 report of chemical vapors or odors affecting indoor air quality, for which the property owner was issued an advisory.

While recent rodent inspections from 2024 and 2025 show "Passed" results, previous inspections revealed rat activity in late 2023 and early 2024. The building has also undergone several inspections and service requests related to unsanitary conditions, pests, and interior maintenance issues, including a 2022 complaint about ceiling problems that required attention. While many of these issues have been addressed and closed through various inspections and repairs, the pattern of recurring problems, particularly regarding mold, heat/hot water, and pest control, indicates ongoing challenges with building maintenance and habitability matters.
