300 East 163rd Street, Bronx, NY 10451

300 East 163rd Street is a 5-story, 40-unit New Law Tenement building in Concourse Village, constructed in 1920 and currently owned by Denis Mcinerney. The property has experienced recurring pest-related issues, most notably with rodents, as evidenced by multiple complaints and inspection results between 2023-2025 showing frequent rat activity, with the latest inspections in May and July 2025 confirming ongoing rat presence despite some passed inspections.

In 2024, the building faced several maintenance challenges, with multiple Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) complaints filed regarding unsanitary conditions, including mold, pests, and various plumbing and appliance issues (toilets, sinks, refrigerators, and ranges), though inspections did not result in any violations. The building's official bedbug reporting since 2019 shows an initial infestation of 8 units in 2019, but subsequent years (2019-2024) reported zero infested units. The property has also generated multiple Housing Maintenance Code complaints in 2024, including both emergency and non-emergency issues, though inspections generally resulted in no violations.

Building management has faced various regulatory requirements, including missing deadlines for energy efficiency score display and submission of various inspection reports between 2019-2024, though most of these violations were subsequently dismissed. A notable elevator-related issue in 2021 resulted in a violation, and there was a door lock monitoring violation in 2021 that carried a penalty of $3,125. While the building has undergone multiple rodent inspections with varying results, the pattern of rat activity suggests persistent pest management challenges, despite some inspections passing without violations.
