1584 East 172nd Street, Bronx, NY 10472

The 51-unit, 6-story New Law Tenement building at 1584 East 172nd Street in Parkchester, owned by Keyoumars Keypour and built in 1927, has experienced significant maintenance and safety issues throughout 2025. Recent complaints and violations indicate ongoing problems with water-related issues, including multiple reports of leaks (both slow and heavy flow), as well as heat and hot water service disruptions affecting both individual apartments and the entire building. The property has also faced challenges with unsanitary conditions, including mold and pest infestations, with multiple violation citations issued by HPD in recent months. An active rodent control program is in place, though inspections throughout 2024-2025 have consistently shown rat activity, with several bait treatments applied.

The building's safety systems have been called into question, with violations noted for missing smoke detectors, carbon monoxide detectors, and defective self-closing doors in Unit 2G. The property's history reveals ongoing compliance challenges, including two active Department of Buildings violations related to the failure to display energy efficiency scores from 2021 and 2024. While there have been no bedbug infestations reported in recent years, the building has shown recurring maintenance issues including plumbing problems, water leaks, and heating system failures. Past violations from 2018 (when under different ownership) included obstruction of fire escape routes, though these were ultimately resolved.

The building's housing maintenance code violations from late 2024 specifically addressed multiple issues in Unit 2G, including pest infestation, water leak problems, and deficiencies in safety equipment, all of which were certified as corrected in early 2025. The data shows a pattern of persistent maintenance issues affecting basic services and safety systems, with multiple violations requiring correction. The building's management has generally responded to violations through the formal process, though there have been instances where HPD inspectors were unable to gain access for necessary inspections. The property appears to be under active monitoring through various city agencies, with regular inspections and service requests being documented.
