50 West 182nd Street, Bronx, NY 10453

50 West 182nd Street, a 6-story, 30-unit residential building constructed in 1935 and currently owned by Arash Merabi, has experienced significant maintenance and service issues in recent years, particularly regarding its elevator and heating systems. The building has an active elevator complaint (as of May 2025) and a history of elevator service problems with multiple violation notices for "Single Device on Property/No Alternate Service" between 2023-2025, indicating ongoing concerns about this critical infrastructure.

The heat and hot water systems have been a recurring issue, with numerous HPD complaints and violations in 2025 alone. Notably, Apartment 1A has documented violations from late 2024 for excessive hot water temperatures, lack of hot water at fixtures, and mouse infestation, while other maintenance issues throughout the building have included electrical problems, water leaks, and mold (as evidenced by multiple Housing Maintenance Code complaints in 2025). The property has been subject to various inspections and violations related to its elevator systems, including several Class 1 violations between 2018-2024 for door monitoring and maintenance issues, with one active violation from 2021 regarding failure to perform required inspections.

There have been persistent rodent activity issues, with multiple inspections between 2023-2025 showing rat activity. While the building has maintained a clean record for bedbug infestations in recent years (2021-2024), the ongoing maintenance issues, particularly with the elevator and heating systems, suggest challenges in property upkeep. The building class designation as "HEREAFTER ERECTED CLASS A" indicates it is a regulated multiple dwelling with specific maintenance and safety obligations.
