1508 East 172nd Street, Bronx, NY 10472

The 2-story, 4-unit building at 1508 East 172nd Street in Parkchester, owned by Brijlall Bhagwant, was constructed in 1924 as a "New Law Tenement" and has experienced several notable events over recent years. The most significant cluster of issues occurred in late 2021, when multiple complaints were filed regarding interior conditions, including problems with walls, ceilings, floors, and mold, though all of these complaints were subsequently verified as corrected and closed by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) by January 2022.

More recently, the building has been subject to repeated violations for failing to file the mandatory Annual Bedbug Reports between 2021 and 2024, with all these violations currently remaining open as of April 2024. However, the building has maintained a good record in terms of rodent control, passing all inspections from 2019 to 2025, including the most recent inspection in April 2025, and has only one failed inspection in August 2018 for "Other Reasons," with no additional details provided.

The building's maintenance history shows an overall pattern of responsive management regarding urgent issues, as evidenced by the prompt resolution of the 2021 complaints, though the recurring bedbug report violation suggests some administrative oversight in this area. The property has demonstrated consistent attention to pest control, with regular inspections resulting in "Passed" ratings, indicating successful management of this particular maintenance requirement. While the building is subject to various regulatory requirements as a New Law Tenement, including annual bedbug reporting, the prompt response to the 2021 complaints suggests a basic level of attentiveness to tenant concerns, even if not all requirements have been consistently fulfilled.
