West 169th Street, Bronx, NY 10452

The West 169th Street property in Highbridge is a newly constructed 5-story, 38-unit Class A building that was completed in 2022 under the ownership of Israel Frankel. The building's recent history shows a maintenance emergency in June 2025 related to heat and hot water issues affecting the entire building.

Throughout 2023, there were notable construction safety compliance concerns, with Oath Violations served in both April and July. Earlier complaints from late 2022 indicate some regulatory challenges during construction, including instances of work being performed contrary to stop work orders in November 2022, though inspections did not consistently result in violations being confirmed. The building's construction phase also experienced issues with site conditions endangering workers in September 2022, and multiple stop work orders were issued and subsequently rescinded.

The property has maintained a clean record regarding pest control, with the Department of Health's bedbug reporting for 2022-2023 and 2023-2024 showing zero cases of infestation, eradication, or re-infestation. The building has generally responded to inspections and complaints, though there was one notable instance in April 2023 where an inspector was unable to gain access during a sustainability enforcement inspection. While the building has experienced various regulatory and maintenance challenges, particularly during its initial construction phase, these issues appear to have stabilized in recent years, with the most recent complaint being the June 2025 heat and hot water emergency.
