289 East 161st Street, Bronx, NY 10451

The 12-story, 155-unit residential building at 289 East 161st Street in Concourse Village, Bronx 161 LLC's property, completed construction in 2022 and has experienced several notable maintenance and safety issues. Most concerning are two recent water leak incidents reported in February 2025, with one still open involving a damp spot, while another heavy flow complaint was resolved within days of reporting. The building has consistently demonstrated compliance with rodent control requirements, passing multiple inspections through 2025, though there was an initial cluster of bedbug reporting violations in 2021-2023.

During construction and shortly thereafter, the property experienced numerous safety violations that required correction. Between 2022-2024, documented issues included unsafe worksite conditions, missing safety equipment, and various construction safety compliance matters, with penalties totaling over $15,000. These violations encompassed hazards such as inadequate debris containment, missing electrical cover panels, and issues with worker safety equipment. The most serious incident recorded was a construction-related injury in 2022 involving a worker using a malfunctioning cement mixer, though this violation was subsequently resolved.

Most recently, an open complaint regarding multiple elevator devices was filed in November 2024. The building's maintenance record shows periodic violations and complaints related to construction safety and maintenance compliance, though many of these issues appear to have been addressed through proper channels. While some violations carried monetary penalties, these have been resolved according to available records. The current water leak issues and the recent elevator complaint represent the most pressing ongoing maintenance concerns as of mid-2025.
