1533 East 172nd Street, Bronx, NY 10472

The three-unit, two-story residential building at 1533 East 172nd Street in Parkchester, currently owned by Rajendranauth Ramjit, was constructed in 1920. The building has experienced several notable events over the past decade, most significantly a heat and hot water complaint in January 2020 that affected the entire building. While this complaint was officially closed, housing authorities were unable to gain access to inspect the units.

Since 2021, the building has been subject to recurring issues with bedbug reporting violations, with open violations recorded in 2024, though these appear to be administrative in nature related to the filing of annual reports, rather than indicating an active infestation. The most recent bedbug report filing for the period of November 2021 to October 2022 indicated no infested units, no eradicated units, and no re-infested units. The building has maintained a generally positive record in terms of pest control, with consistent passing results in rodent inspections from 2010 through 2018, suggesting effective management of common building pests.

While the heat complaint from 2020 raises some concern about building systems, it appears to be an isolated incident. The property's bedbug reporting violations, while numerous over the past four years, appear to be procedural rather than indicating significant infestation problems, particularly given the most recent bedbug report showing no affected units. The building's inspection and violation history shows regular attention to housing maintenance codes, with most violations being addressed and closed in a timely manner. The property has maintained its classification as a "Hereafter Converted Class A" building since 1920, indicating its status as a regulated rental property.
