314 East 165th Street, Bronx, NY 10456

The three-story, three-unit tenement building at 314 East 165th Street in Concourse Village, owned by L.V. ACQUISITIONS UNLIMITED LLC, has experienced recurring issues since 2019 that significantly impact resident quality of life. Most notably, there have been multiple heating and hot water outages affecting the entire building in late 2019 and early 2020, with reports of these conditions not being properly investigated or resolved, according to Department of Housing Preservation and Development records.

The building has persistent pest control challenges, with inspections revealing ongoing rat activity through 2025, as evidenced by multiple rodent inspections showing bait application and compliance notices between 2024 and 2025. There are also documented sanitary issues from 2019, including violations for roach and mouse infestations in the second-floor apartment (apartment 2), along with other maintenance concerns such as defective plaster surfaces and missing safety devices. Recent inspections have revealed multiple open violations related to bedbug reporting requirements for the years 2021 through 2024, though these appear to be administrative in nature.

Notably, there was also one open violation from 2019 regarding a missing smoke detector and carbon monoxide detector in apartment 2. The building's permit history shows some activity in 2019, with at least one work permit related to electrical work being issued. The consistent pattern of rodent activity and recurring heating issues, combined with multiple open violations requiring the filing of annual bedbug reports, suggests ongoing building maintenance and pest control challenges that have persisted for several years.
