Augrented Insights Report for 399 East 160th Street

The 6-story, 27-unit building at 399 East 160th Street in the Melrose neighborhood, owned by Francisco Valentin and constructed in 1914, has experienced persistent heating and plumbing issues over the past several years. Most notably, between November 2024 and April 2025, there have been multiple emergency heat/hot water complaints affecting the entire building, with at least one instance resulting in violations that required corrections.

The building has also faced recurring plumbing issues, including a February 2025 water supply complaint that HPD was unable to inspect. A significant cluster of complaints emerged in 2024, particularly in February, when multiple heat-related issues were reported. The building is currently facing several active Department of Buildings violations regarding failure to file annual low-pressure inspections for 2020-2023, and there are serious concerns about lead paint hazards and bathroom mold in Apartment 4D, along with multiple other maintenance issues that have been documented.

There have been ongoing rodent control efforts, with bait applied regularly throughout 2024 and 2025, though earlier inspections in 2024 and 2023 indicated rat activity. Recent environmental control board violations from 2020-2021 regarding improperly installed air conditioning units and an exhaust issue from the commercial space remain active. While the building has maintained a clean record regarding bedbugs, with no reported infestations in the past six years, the persistent heating, plumbing, and rodent issues suggest ongoing maintenance challenges.
