285 East 163rd Street, Bronx, NY 10451

285 East 163rd Street is a 6-story, 36-unit residential building located in the Concourse Village neighborhood, completed in 2022 and currently owned by Genc Popaj. The building's recent history shows consistent attention to pest control compliance, with 2023 and 2024 violations related to missing annual bedbug reports, though these have since been resolved.

The property has undergone multiple rodent inspections, with 2023-2025 results indicating mostly passing inspections, though there were some instances of rat activity noted in March 2023. During its construction phase from 2021 to mid-2022, the building site experienced several significant safety and housekeeping violations, including unsafe storage of combustible materials, excessive construction debris, and smoking at the construction site, leading to various penalties totaling over $4,000.

Additional violations were recorded in 2021-2022 related to inadequate sanitary facilities, missing safety plans, and the absence of proper debris removal equipment, though these issues appear to have been resolved by the time of building completion. A construction fence violation was also documented in October 2021, and a sidewalk shed violation was noted in July 2022, both of which were subsequently addressed. While the building has maintained relatively good rodent control compliance in recent years, the most recent violation in March 2023 indicates some ongoing pest management challenges, though these appear to be isolated incidents.
