128 West 167Th Street, Bronx, NY 10452

The 33-unit, 7-story residential building at 128 West 167th Street in Highbridge, completed in 2022 and owned by 122w LLC, has experienced significant maintenance issues in 2025, particularly during the winter months. The most concerning pattern involves multiple heat and hot water complaints (nine in total) between January and February 2025, with several violations issued for inadequate heat or hot water, particularly affecting entire building systems.

While HPD was able to confirm these deficiencies through inspections of various apartments, access issues prevented comprehensive evaluations in some cases. There were also two documented plumbing complaints regarding water supply issues in early 2025, though HPD faced access challenges during inspection attempts. More recently, in April 2025, a pest-related complaint was filed with HPD, though inspectors were again unable to gain access for verification.

Looking back at the building's history since construction, there were some initial access issues noted in 2022 during inspections related to the Work Without Permits Watch List Compliance. The building's bedbug report for the period between November 2023 and October 2024 shows no infestation or re-infestation cases, indicating effective pest management practices in this regard. Despite the building's recent completion, the pattern of heating and water supply issues during winter months suggests potential infrastructure challenges requiring ongoing attention.
