1585 East 172nd Street, Bronx, NY 10472
This 49-unit, 5-story New Law Tenement building at 1585 East 172nd Street in Parkchester, built in 1928 and owned by Emrush Zeqaj, has experienced several recurring maintenance issues in recent years. Most notably, there have been multiple water leak incidents, window and door problems, and appliance-related complaints, including a recent sanitary condition complaint about mold in May 2025. Two significant water leak complaints were filed in early 2025, and the building is currently under investigation for construction lead dust issues as of December 2024.
The building has a documented history of bedbug infestations, with reports showing infested units in 2023, 2021, and recurring issues between 2019-2022, though no infestations were reported in 2024-2025. Structural maintenance remains a concern, with various Housing Maintenance Code violations noted in 2024, particularly affecting apartment 1G, including issues with doors, windows, lighting, and safety systems. The building has faced multiple challenges with compliance inspections and documentation requirements, particularly regarding external low pressure inspection filings, with violations issued between 2018-2024, though many were subsequently dismissed. Rodent inspections between 2016-2019 showed periodic rat activity, indicating ongoing pest control challenges.
Recent housing maintenance code complaints (June 2025) have included issues with doors, windows, refrigerator appliances, and unsanitary conditions in garbage storage. Historical data shows recurring problems with building maintenance and resident safety systems, including multiple violations related to smoke detectors and carbon monoxide detectors in 2024. While some violations have been addressed and cleared, the frequency and variety of maintenance issues suggest ongoing building management challenges. The Department of Health and Mental Hygiene has investigated air quality issues in 2025, though no violations were found.
