311 East 162nd Street, Bronx, NY 10451

The three-story, three-unit building at 311 East 162nd Street in Concourse Village, owned by Paulette Fraser, has a documented history of maintenance issues over the past several years. Most recently, in January 2024, there was a safety concern regarding a broken or missing window guard in Apartment 3, which has resulted in an open violation as of February 2024. The building has experienced recurring heat and hot water issues, with complaints registered in both 2020 and 2022, though these were resolved promptly.

A significant cluster of complaints was recorded in September 2021, including reports of pests, mold, flooring issues, and appliance problems, all of which were investigated but did not result in violations. The building currently has several open violations from January 2024 related to safety and maintenance requirements, including missing safety notices, a defective self-closing door, and concerns about window guards. Notably, there was rat activity documented in March 2022, though subsequent inspections from 2022 to early 2025 have consistently passed, indicating improvements in rodent control.

The property is undergoing regular inspections and has maintained compliance with rodent control requirements, passing all inspections from 2022 through 2025, with the exception of one instance in April 2022 when bait was applied. The building's current open violations primarily relate to safety requirements, including the need to post various safety notices regarding carbon monoxide detectors, smoke detector requirements, and gas leak procedures. While the property has experienced various maintenance issues over the years, many historical complaints have been resolved promptly, and recent rodent control efforts have been effective.
