1755 Mahan Avenue, Bronx, NY 10461

The three-story, 21-unit tenement building at 1755 Mahan Avenue in Pelham Bay, owned by Giuseppe Giambrone, has experienced several significant maintenance issues in recent years, particularly in 2024. The property has notable heating system problems, with complaints about lack of heat and hot water recorded in both January and October 2024, the former being marked as an emergency situation.

There is a concerning pattern of pest-related issues, with multiple complaints about unsanitary conditions and pest infestations reported between 2020 and 2024, including active violations as of February 2024 related to mice infestations in Apartment 4 and a past roach infestation in Apartment 25. The building's safety features have also come under scrutiny, with open violations in 2024 noting missing smoke and carbon monoxide detectors in Apartment 4. The property has had various maintenance issues over the years, including problems with stairs, doors, and plumbing systems, though many of these complaints were resolved without violations being issued.

Looking further back, the building's history includes two ECB violations from 2018 related to unobstructed passageways that were resolved, and regular bedbug reporting requirements have been documented, with the most recent reports (2023 and 2021) indicating no infested or re-infested units during the specified periods. The building was constructed in 1927 and is classified as a "New Law Tenement," which typically refers to buildings subject to specific New York City rent regulation laws enacted in the 1920s to protect tenants. While some violations and complaints have been addressed, the persistence of heating system issues and pest problems, as well as recent safety violations, suggests ongoing maintenance challenges at the property.
