57 West 182nd Street, Bronx, NY 10453

The three-story, two-family house at 57 West 182nd Street in University Heights, owned by Fircy Nunez and built in 1910, has experienced numerous concerning issues over the past several years. Most notably, in 2018-2019, there were multiple violations related to building safety and habitability, including defective fire escapes, inadequate lighting in public areas, and a significant lack of hot water in the 3rd-floor apartment.

The building's structural integrity has been a major concern, with multiple open violations from 2018-2019 citing severe cracks in the facade between floors, particularly around windows, and problems with building walls that required urgent attention. In 2018, there were substantial concerns about illegal conversions, including unauthorized plumbing fixtures and cooking spaces in the garage areas, while 2019 saw multiple complaints regarding power outages and heating issues affecting the entire building. More recently, in 2023, multiple complaints were filed regarding the building, though details on resolutions are less clear.

The property has also faced persistent rodent issues, with multiple inspections throughout 2023-2025 indicating ongoing rat activity, though some compliance inspections have shown passing results. Currently, there are multiple active Environmental Control Board violations from 2018-2019 related to building maintenance, including failure to address dangerous cracks and wall conditions, with outstanding penalties totalling $78,750. A construction permit was issued in December 2020, though the specific work and its impact on the building's conditions is not detailed in the records.
