917 Mace Avenue, Bronx, NY 10469

917 Mace Avenue is a 7-unit, 3-story building located in Allerton, Bronx, built in 1925 and owned by Angelo Dellicarpini. The property has experienced recurring maintenance issues over the past several years, with the most recent emergency being a heat/hot water outage affecting the entire building in November 2024.

Notable violations include open bedbug report filing requirements for multiple years from 2021-2024, and an active Department of Buildings violation from June 2023 regarding failure to file a 2020 external low pressure inspection. The building has a documented history of infrastructure problems, particularly in December 2018 when multiple emergency complaints were filed regarding water leaks, ceiling issues, and safety concerns in Apartment 1B, including exposed electrical wiring, door security problems, missing window guards, and defective carbon monoxide detectors.

The property has shown some positive maintenance outcomes, including passing recent rodent inspections in 2023 and 2017, and the most recent heat/hot water issue was resolved promptly within four days. While violations from 2018 have been addressed in terms of being marked closed, they indicate previous concerns regarding basic safety and maintenance standards. The building's age and history suggest potential ongoing maintenance challenges, particularly in regard to building systems and safety equipment, as evidenced by the recurring nature of certain violations and the timing of complaints relative to seasonal heat requirements.
