320 East 160th Street, Bronx, NY 10451

The four-story, six-unit tenement building at 320 East 160th Street in Melrose, owned by Phillip Freeman, has experienced ongoing maintenance challenges throughout early 2025, with multiple active violations and service requests. Most recently, there are open complaints regarding electrical outlet/switch issues and door problems as of April 2025. The building has faced several significant issues in 2025 alone, including a heat/hot water complaint affecting the entire building (March 2025), and multiple instances of door-related problems resulting in violations.

The property has also had documented pest issues, with violations in 2024 specifically noting mouse and roach infestations in apartment 3A, though there were no bedbug infestations reported in the past five years. The building's maintenance history shows recurring problems with building infrastructure and safety features. Violations from late 2024 identified issues with doors requiring repairs, including self-closing doors at both the street entrance and roof access points.

Multiple 311 complaints throughout 2025 and 2024 documented various maintenance issues, including plumbing, electrical, and general maintenance concerns, with some complaints resulting in violations being issued to the property owner. The building has undergone several rodent control treatments in recent years, with bait applied consistently from 2022 through 2024, indicating ongoing pest management efforts. Notably, water-related issues were documented in early 2025, with a slow leak complaint filed in March. While the property appears to have maintained compliance with bedbug reporting requirements, the frequency and variety of maintenance issues suggest ongoing building management challenges.
