74 West 165th Street, Bronx, NY 10452
The 22-unit, 4-story tenement at 74 West 165th Street in Highbridge, owned by Franklin Rodriguez and built in 1909, has experienced significant maintenance issues over the past 20 months. Most notably, there was a serious pattern of heat and hot water problems in April 2025, with multiple tenant complaints indicating building-wide and apartment-specific outages, though systems were reportedly restored during inspection attempts. The building has ongoing issues with unsanitary conditions, including repeated reports of mold (with a documented violation in Apartment 3 from December 2024) and pest problems, including rat sightings and activity consistently noted in inspections from November 2023 through June 2025.
Multiple emergency maintenance complaints were filed in June 2025, including issues with plumbing, electrical systems, and water leaks. The building's environmental and safety compliance history reveals several concerning patterns. There are active ECB violations as of 2024-2025 related to the exterior masonry facade and structural elements, with substantial penalties imposed.
Historical documents show persistent moisture-related problems, particularly affecting a ground-floor deli space, with multiple violations between 2020 and 2021 regarding water damage and ceiling deterioration. Heating system access and maintenance access issues were noted in December 2024. The building has maintained a consistent record of not reporting bedbug infestations, with all prior filings showing zero units affected. However, there appears to be some potential ongoing structural concerns, as evidenced by a June 2025 complaint about building shaking or vibration that was marked as active.
