273 East 164th Street, Bronx, NY 10456

273 East 164th Street, a 6-story, 50-unit New Law Tenement built in 1928, is currently managed by Morris Court Apts LLC. The building has experienced recurring heat and hot water issues, particularly during December 2024, when multiple complaints were filed regarding both apartment-specific and building-wide service interruptions. While most of these complaints were subsequently resolved, the frequency and timing suggest persistent system challenges.

Most recently, in April 2025, there were complaints about unsanitary conditions related to pests and wall maintenance, with violations issued for the pest problem. The building has undergone several inspections and received multiple Housing Maintenance Code violations, particularly affecting Apartment D, including issues with plaster surfaces, pest infestations, and various maintenance concerns such as defective doors, bathroom tiles, intercom systems, floor sloping, and lighting in common areas, though most of these have been certified as corrected. The property's rodent management history shows a pattern of rat activity between 2023 and 2025, with several inspections indicating continued challenges in maintaining a pest-free environment, though the most recent inspections in 2025 have shown improved compliance.

A significant building systems issue remains open as of June 2023 regarding the failure to file the 2021 External Low Pressure Inspection. On a positive note, the building has maintained a consistent record of zero bedbug reports in recent years, with inspections showing no infestation cases between 2019 and 2024. The property's maintenance history underscores ongoing challenges with both building systems and pest management, though recent inspections suggest some improvements in compliance with housing codes and regular government inspections.
