1550 East 172nd Street, Bronx, NY 10472

The building at 1550 East 172nd Street in Parkchester, a two-story New Law tenement built in 1925, is currently facing significant maintenance challenges, particularly in its second-floor apartment (2R) where multiple violations were documented in December 2024. These include issues with mold (greater than 10 sq. ft.

in the bathroom and on various walls), a slow water leak affecting window casings, and infestations of pests including mice and roaches throughout the apartment. The Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) Department has issued both B and C class violations for these conditions, with the mold violation being marked as closed following certification of correction in January 2025, while other violations remain open as of now. The building has a consistent record of bedbug-free status over the past five years, with no reported infestations in any dwelling units between 2019-2024.

Regular rodent inspections have generally shown favorable results, with the most recent inspection in May 2025 passing compliance, and previous inspections in 2024 and 2023 also passing. However, there was one failed inspection in 2022 for "Other Reasons," though it was subsequently brought into compliance. The property's maintenance record shows a mix of resolved and ongoing issues, particularly focused on the water, mold, and pest problems that were most recently documented in late 2024.
