57 West 183rd Street, Bronx, NY 10453

57 West 183rd Street in University Heights is a 3-story, 6-unit residential building constructed in 1920 and currently owned by Yossi Toledano. The property has experienced several maintenance and safety issues over the past few years, with the most recent concern being a broken window guard reported in July 2024, which resulted in an open violation.

The building faced significant plumbing, sanitation, and maintenance challenges in March 2020, with multiple complaints regarding bathroom fixtures, pests, ceiling conditions, heating/hot water issues, and appliances, though inspections during that period were unable to gain access to verify these problems. Since then, there have been ongoing concerns about rodent activity, with multiple inspections between 2023 and 2025 recording this issue, though some inspections also passed without violations. The building has several open violations related to its external low-pressure inspection requirements between 2018-2023, with the most recent violation issued in September 2024.

The property maintains a good record for bedbug management, showing zero infestations reported in the last four filing periods (2021-2025). While permits for various maintenance work have been consistently issued between 2018 and 2024, suggesting ongoing attention to building maintenance, the pattern of violations and service requests indicates persistent challenges with both basic systems (plumbing, heating) and safety features (window guards), particularly during the 2020-2021 period. The most recent inspections regarding rat activity in 2024 indicate this has been an ongoing challenge, though there are some periods of compliance noted in the inspection results.
