100 West 163rd Street, Bronx, NY 10452

This four-story New Law tenement building at 100 West 163rd Street, owned by Madelyn Lugo, has experienced several concerning issues in recent years. Most notably, there is currently an open complaint (as of June 2025) regarding unsanitary conditions related to garbage/recycling storage.

The building has faced recurring heat and hot water issues, with multiple complaints between 2024-2025, including a cluster of heat-related complaints in January 2025 that were initially classified as emergencies. Water-related problems have also been persistent, with a slow leak investigation in December 2024 resulting in violations, and multiple plumbing complaints in October 2024 including some classified as immediate emergencies. The building's most pressing internal issues appear to center around apartment 4B, which has multiple open Housing Maintenance Code violations from 2024-2025 including concerns about roof leaks, defective plastered surfaces, and evidence of a roach infestation.

While the property has passed recent rodent inspections (most recently in April 2025), there have been several periods of rat activity documented between 2023-2024, suggesting ongoing pest management challenges. Despite these issues, it's worth noting that the building has maintained a consistent record of no bedbug infestations since 2019, based on the annual reporting requirements. The property is 119 years old, having been built in 1906, and consists of 8 units in the Highbridge neighborhood.
