1663 East 172nd Street, Bronx, NY 10472

The two-story, four-unit tenement at 1663 East 172nd Street in Parkchester, built in 1926 and currently owned by Indra Singh, has experienced several notable maintenance issues over recent years. Between late 2021, there were reports of both mold and pest (unsanitary condition) problems, though inspections conducted by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) found no violations related to these complaints.

The building has consistently faced requirements to file annual bedbug reports under Housing Maintenance Code Section A, with violations noted in each of the past four years from 2021 through 2024, though the most recent filings (2022 and 2021) reported no infested units or eradication efforts needed. The property has undergone regular rodent inspections, with mixed results.

Most recently, a May 2023 inspection passed, following a July 2021 failure for "Other Reasons" and a subsequent August 2021 compliance inspection that passed. Historical records from 2012 through 2020 show generally good performance in pest control, with only one notable instance of rat activity in July 2018. The building has maintained its basic structural and safety compliance, with no major violations or emergencies reported in recent years, though the recurring bedbug reporting requirements and periodic pest issues suggest some ongoing challenges with maintaining optimal living conditions.
