508 East 163rd Street, Bronx, NY 10451

508 East 163rd Street is a 13-story, 85-unit residential building constructed in 2008, currently owned by Peter Fine. The property has experienced a number of maintenance issues in recent years, with the most significant cluster of problems occurring in 2025. This includes multiple plumbing complaints (toilets and bathtubs/showers), paint/plaster violations on walls and ceilings, and both general maintenance and unsanitary conditions related to pests.

Several of these complaints resulted in violations being issued, requiring the property owner to make necessary corrections. The building's maintenance record reveals ongoing concerns with the elevator system, as evidenced by multiple complaints between 2018 and 2024 regarding "Multiple Devices on Property" and "Failure to Maintain" issues, with the most recent complaint being active as of December 2024. Safety systems within the building have also been a focus, with violations noted in 2024 regarding self-closing doors and carbon monoxide/smoke detectors in apartment 13C. The building has experienced periodic heat and hot water issues, as documented in 2025 complaints, though HPD inspectors were unable to gain access for verification.

Recent inspections showed rat activity in 2022-2023, though previous years had mostly passed inspections for rodent activity. While bedbug incidents have been relatively low, with only two reports in 2019 and 2021 showing infested units, the building has maintained regular compliance with required reporting. The December 2024 inspection revealed several open violations in apartment 13C, including issues with self-closing doors, loose kitchen countertop, and inadequate heat supply in one room, though some violations from earlier inspections were certified as corrected. The building's permit history shows several work permits issued between 2020-2021, though specific details of the work performed are not available in the provided data.
