120 West 169th Street, Bronx, NY 10452
The 60-unit, 9-story building at 120 West 169th Street in Highbridge, owned by Excel Nelson LP and completed in 2016, has experienced significant recurring issues with its heating and hot water systems throughout 2024-2025. Between March and May 2025 alone, there were at least nine documented complaints about heat and hot water problems affecting the entire building, with multiple instances of HPD inspections confirming restoration of services, though access for inspection was sometimes not granted.
The building also encountered several plumbing/water supply emergencies in June 2025. An inspection in February 2024 revealed multiple violations in apartment 1C, including issues with mold, pest infestation, and various maintenance problems such as defective plaster surfaces, broken floor materials, and kitchen cabinet issues, though some violations were subsequently marked as closed. The building's maintenance record shows a pattern of pest control challenges, with rodent activity reported in 2024-2025 inspections, including failed compliance inspections.
While the building demonstrated improved pest management in 2023-2024 with only one documented bedbug incident (which was resolved), a documented unsanitary condition complaint regarding pests from January 2025 was investigated by HPD but found not to violate housing laws. The property has shown consistent challenges with basic services, as evidenced by multiple emergency complaint responses in 2025, though most were resolved quickly. The building's relatively recent construction (2016) raises questions about the persistence of these issues, which appear to be recurring and systemic rather than isolated incidents.
