1122 East 179th Street, Bronx, NY 10460

This two-family house, located at 1122 East 179th Street in the West Farms neighborhood, was built in 1901 and is currently owned by Charles Osae. The property has experienced several maintenance issues over the past few years, most notably in late 2022 when there were complaints about heating and cooking gas problems that the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) could not inspect due to access issues.

In 2019, multiple violations were documented in the second-floor apartment (2FL), including problems with window sashes and infestations of mice and roaches, though inspections subsequently revealed no violations. The building has also undergone rodent inspections, with the most recent in April 2025 showing compliance, while January 2025 noted rat activity.

Historical records from 2016-2018 show a pattern of rodent inspections, with most being passed, though there were some initial failures noted in 2015-2016. The property has had two HPD inspections for broken/missing window guards in 2019, with no violations issued. The building's maintenance history shows periodic challenges with both pest control and basic utilities, though recent years indicate some improvements in compliance, particularly regarding rodent control, with the most recent inspection passing under the New York City Department of Health and Mental Hygiene standards.
