494 East 167th Street, Bronx, NY 10456
The 20-unit, 6-story tenement building at 494 East 167th Street in Morrisania, owned by Craig Livingston, has experienced several significant maintenance issues in recent years, most notably recurring problems with heat and hot water systems. From January to February 2025 alone, four separate heat/hot water complaints were filed, with inspections finding either no violations or access issues. The building has also faced electrical and plumbing challenges, including a power outage in June 2024 and water supply issues in October 2024.
Multiple window-related violations were documented in June 2024, with some requiring repairs to both window frames and panes. The building's maintenance history shows active violations from December 2024 concerning mouse infestation in apartment 3C, and various issues in apartment 5B including missing smoke detectors, carbon monoxide detectors, and multiple repair needs identified in 2024. More concerning are recent structural and safety issues, including an October 2023 complaint about building shaking/vibration, and an active Environmental Control Board violation from June 2023 regarding detached stucco sections at the exterior 6th-floor window. The building's rodent control history shows periodic inspections in 2018-2022 with instances of rat activity and failed compliance checks.
Importantly, there have been no reported bedbug infestations in recent years, with all annual reports showing zero affected units. Two outstanding violations related to external low-pressure inspection filings from June 2023 remain active, while the building has had several permits issued for exterior work in 2018-2019, suggesting ongoing maintenance and repair activities.
