1519 East 172nd Street, Bronx, NY 10472

1519 East 172nd Street is a two-story, four-unit residential building constructed in 1924, currently owned by Gregory Parmiter. The building has experienced several maintenance issues over recent years, with the most significant concerns centered around heat and water systems, as evidenced by complaints in 2022 and 2020 that resulted in violations, though some of these conditions were reportedly resolved promptly.

The property faces current violations related to fire egress in the first-floor apartment (1F) concerning window bars and gates (October 2023), and a pending Bedbug Report submission requirement (April 2024). A notable infestation issue was documented in July 2022 for the second-floor apartment (2F), involving both rodents and roaches, along with multiple other maintenance concerns including electric outlet repairs and cabinet issues, though many of these violations were subsequently closed. The building's recent history shows recurring concerns about heat/hot water systems, with emergency complaints filed in 2022 (apartment only) and 2020 (entire building), as well as a power outage incident in May 2020.

While there have been some rodent sightings reported through 311 service requests in 2024 and 2021, the property has generally passed multiple rodent inspections conducted since 2010, with the most recent inspection in June 2024 showing compliance. The building's Bedbug Reporting records from 2019 through 2022 show zero infested or re-infested units, though the open violation from April 2024 suggests an administrative compliance issue rather than an ongoing infestation. The pattern of complaints and violations suggests a history of maintenance challenges, particularly regarding building systems and pest control, though many earlier issues have been addressed through inspections and repairs.
