1705 East 174th Street, Bronx, NY 10472

The two-story, four-unit residential building at 1705 East 174th Street in Parkchester, owned by Mohammad Samrat, has experienced several significant maintenance issues since 2018. Most notably, there are multiple active violations regarding failure to file annual bedbug reports from 2021 through 2024, and a February 2020 violation (Class B) related to accumulating refuse in the front area.

The building has faced recurring heat and hot water issues, with documented complaints in 2019 (affecting both entire building and individual apartments), 2021, and various other maintenance concerns including plumbing problems, unsanitary conditions, and indoor air quality issues, though in most cases, no violations were ultimately issued. The property has undergone several inspections for structural and environmental concerns, particularly in 2020, when issues such as water buildup, cracking parapet walls, and drainage problems were documented, leading to multiple violations and penalties. During 2020, the building experienced significant rodent control measures, with inspections revealing rat activity and requiring multiple bait applications.

The Department of Buildings records show various complaints related to heating systems, emergency repairs needed for plumbing issues, and concerns about garbage storage. While many of these complaints were eventually closed without violations, some remain open, including active Environmental Control Board violations from 2020 related to building maintenance issues. The building's repair history shows a pattern of addressing urgent issues, though with frequent reoccurrences of similar problems, particularly regarding heating systems and rodent control.
