1590 East 172nd Street, Bronx, NY 10472

The 51-unit, 6-story building at 1590 East 172nd Street in Parkchester, owned by Christina Pimentel, has experienced several significant maintenance issues over the past two years. Most recently, in February 2025, there was a heat and hot water outage affecting some apartments, though service was restored during the HPD inspection. The building has faced recurring problems with unsanitary conditions, including mold and pest infestations (most recently documented in December 2024), and multiple heating system complaints.

Housing Maintenance Code violations were issued in November 2024 for various issues including unsafe electrical wiring, window problems, and defective plaster surfaces, particularly affecting apartments 2A and 2E. The building's maintenance history shows a pattern of infrastructure challenges, including plumbing issues (bathtub/shower), appliance problems (refrigerator), and window deficiencies. While there was one documented instance of bedbug infestation in 2022, subsequent reports for the following years showed no infestations.

Recent rodent inspections in 2023-2025 have generally passed, though there were two failures for other reasons in 2023. Most violations and complaints have been addressed and closed, with the exception of some ongoing concerns about mold, pests, and heating systems. The building also received various non-emergency complaints through 2025 regarding paint/plaster, electrical issues, flooring, and bathroom fixtures, indicating ongoing maintenance needs throughout the property.
