130 West 165th Street, Bronx, NY 10452

The two-family house at 130 West 165th Street in Highbridge, owned by David Simon, has experienced several maintenance issues over the past two years. Between March and December 2023, there were multiple reports of pest-related problems, including three unsanitary condition complaints regarding pests in December 2023 alone, though inspections in these cases resulted in no violations.

The building faced recurring water-related issues, with complaints about slow leaks in April 2023 and damp spots in December 2023, the latter of which was addressed but resulted in no violations. Other maintenance concerns included heating/hot water issues in March 2023 (with inspection access denied), various paint/plaster problems (walls and ceilings), and general maintenance matters including cooking gas and plumbing issues, all of which were investigated but typically resulted in no violations being issued. The property has a documented history dating back to 2019, including a now-resolved violation regarding inadequate cold water supply to Apartment 1.

Building inspections conducted between 2022 and early 2025 have shown fluctuating results regarding rodent activity, with several inspections indicating rat activity and others reporting compliance or passing status. The building's bedbug reporting records from 2019 to present show no infestations, with all reported units being listed as non-infested and successfully eradicated. While the building has faced multiple maintenance challenges, particularly relating to water issues and pest control, recent inspections indicate some improvements, as evidenced by the most recent rodent inspection in February 2025 passing without issues.
