299 East 162nd Street, Bronx, NY 10451
299 East 162nd Street is a 5-story, 21-unit New Law tenement building constructed in 1910, currently owned by William Fernandez. The building has experienced recurring maintenance issues over recent years, with the most significant concerns being related to heat and hot water systems (three documented complaints since 2022), mold (a major violation in 2023 affecting Apartment 14), and various safety concerns including window guards and door security.
Recently, in June 2024, the building was issued multiple violations regarding unauthorized alterations in Apartment 16, including unauthorized subdivisions and additional entrances. The building's infrastructure has shown some concerning trends, including an active violation for failing to file external low pressure inspections from 2018-2019 as of June 2023. The property has maintained a consistent record of addressing bedbug issues, with annual reports since 2019 showing zero infestations.
However, recent rodent inspections have revealed some problems, with the most recent inspection in May 2025 failing for "Other Reasons" and previous inspections in 2023 and 2024 documenting rat activity. The building's maintenance history shows a pattern of addressing emergency repairs, such as those related to paint/plaster damage and sanitation issues, though access issues have occasionally complicated inspections. While many complaints have been resolved promptly, several violations remain open as of mid-2025, suggesting ongoing maintenance challenges.
