1723 East 172nd Street, Bronx, NY 10472

The 6-unit, 3-story residential building at 1723 East 172nd Street in Parkchester, owned by Abdu Salman and constructed in 1928, has experienced significant ongoing maintenance issues and code violations, particularly in recent months. As of June 2025, there are multiple open violations including unsanitary conditions related to pests, mold issues, problems with paint/plaster on walls and ceilings, water leaks, flooring concerns, and problems with windows and doors.

The building has documented heating system problems in early 2024, with separate complaints about both apartment-specific and building-wide heat/hot water issues. A significant cluster of violations was recorded in September 2024 regarding fire safety and maintenance requirements for the second and third-story bulkhead areas, including requirements for proper fire retardant materials and light-colored paint. The property has a history of pest control challenges, as evidenced by multiple recent violations (2025) for unsanitary conditions and past rodent activity requiring bait application in 2024.

In 2023, various maintenance issues were reported including problems with windows, doors, walls, and water leaks, with some complaints resulting in violations. The building's management has faced scrutiny for failing to properly maintain the property, as demonstrated by an Environmental Control Board violation from February 2022 related to leaking ceilings affecting multiple apartments. While there were no reported bedbug infestations in the most recent required reporting period (2024), the overall pattern of violations suggests ongoing maintenance challenges.
