306 East 165th Street, Bronx, NY 10456

306 East 165th Street is a 3-unit, 3-story New Law Tenement building located in Concourse Village, constructed in 1927 and currently owned by Ches Parnes. The building has experienced ongoing maintenance challenges over the past few years, with particular concern regarding pest and rodent issues.

Most recently, in 2025, there is active rodent control being conducted on the property, with multiple bait applications recorded between January and May 2025, following inspections indicating rat activity in January and April 2025. The building has also faced recurring issues with basic services and infrastructure, including heating system problems that required emergency intervention in December 2022, along with multiple incidents of electrical failures and unsanitary conditions, particularly in 2021-2022.

The property has several open Housing Maintenance Code violations from recent years, including requirements to file annual bedbug reports (as of 2022-2024), and specific infrastructure issues in apartment 2 such as missing wash basin knobs, defective ceiling light fixture, inadequate electrical service, and plumbing problems. Previous complaints have documented various quality of life issues, including mold, pest infestations, and water leaks, though many of these issues were addressed through HPD inspections and resolutions. The building's maintenance history suggests ongoing challenges with maintaining basic habitability standards, particularly regarding pest control and building systems, though many past complaints have been resolved through proper channels.
