103 East 165th Street, Bronx, NY 10452
103 East 165th Street is a 6-story, 54-unit New Law tenement building constructed in 1925 and currently owned by Sonia Torres. The building has experienced recurring heat and hot water issues throughout 2025, with multiple complaints filed between February and June of 2025. Recent maintenance concerns are documented through eight open Housing Maintenance Code complaints filed in June 2025, including water leaks, plumbing issues, and an emergency mold situation.
The building has a history of rodent activity, with recent inspections in 2025 showing ongoing rat presence. Between 2024-2025, several housing code violations were recorded, particularly affecting apartments 3F and 4D, including mold conditions, infestation issues, and plumbing concerns. The elevator system has presented recurring problems, with complaints of defective service dating back to 2018, though inspections typically found no violation warrant.
The Department of Buildings has issued several active violations related to failure to submit required energy efficiency documentation between 2019-2024, and there are environmental violations from 2018-2020 regarding elevator maintenance that were resolved with penalties. While there were bedbug infestations reported in the building's history (notably in 2019), recent records from 2022-2024 show no such incidents. The building's overall condition as of 2025 suggests persistent maintenance challenges, particularly regarding heating systems, plumbing, and pest control.
