266 East 169th Street, Bronx, NY 10456
266 East 169th Street is a 5-story, 34-unit residential building constructed in 1915, currently owned by Robert Corso and classified as a New Law Tenement. The building has experienced recurring maintenance challenges over recent years, particularly relating to heating and hot water systems, with multiple complaints filed in 2023-2024 regarding heat/hot water issues affecting both individual apartments and the entire building. The most recent service requests in April 2025 involved electrical and plumbing problems (specifically regarding sinks/basins), though HPD was unable to inspect these complaints due to access issues.
Noteworthy safety concerns emerged in late 2024 when citations were issued for missing smoke and carbon monoxide detectors in apartment 2C, though these violations were certified as corrected by December 2024. The building's maintenance history shows a pattern of plumbing issues, with multiple water supply complaints recorded in 2023-2024, alongside several instances of water leaks. A significant bedbug infestation was documented in 2022 affecting multiple floors (2C, 4A, 5B, public hall areas), though subsequent reports in 2023-2024 indicated no further infestations.
The property has undergone periodic rodent inspections, with the most recent inspections in 2025 showing passing results, though prior inspections in 2023-2024 recorded instances of rat activity. The building's performance regarding energy reporting has also been documented, with a violation noted in 2022 for failure to file a required benchmarking report, though this was dismissed following confirmation of submission. While many historical violations and complaints have been resolved, the persistence of heating, plumbing, and occasional pest issues suggests ongoing maintenance challenges within the building.
