98 West 169th Street, Bronx, NY 10452

98 West 169th Street is a 3-unit, 3-story residential building constructed in 2007 in the Highbridge neighborhood, currently owned by Arman Kohan. The building has experienced several significant maintenance issues over the years, with the most recent being a heat/hot water complaint in October 2022 affecting the entire building, though inspectors could not gain access to verify the problem.

Multiple housing maintenance code violations have been documented, with the most critical occurring in 2018 involving inadequate hot water supply in Apartment 3, a locked heating system access issue in the cellar, and various maintenance concerns in Apartment 3 including mold, defective plaster surfaces, and the need for bathroom repairs. The building's infrastructure maintenance has shown some improvement in recent years, with no reported bedbug infestations since 2022, as indicated by the annual bedbug reports showing zero infested units in 2023 and 2024, though three units were previously noted as requiring eradication in 2022-2023 and 2021-2022.

Rodent inspections have generally passed since 2019, with the most recent inspections in 2023 and 2024 showing compliance, though there were two initial failures in 2018. The building has undergone multiple inspections and received various violation notices between 2018 and 2022, primarily related to heating systems, maintenance requirements, and safety notices, though most of these violations have been subsequently closed. The property has maintained active compliance with bedbug reporting requirements since 2021, with regular filings showing improved conditions.
