190 West 168th Street, Bronx, NY 10452
The five-story tenement building at 190 West 168th Street in Highbridge, owned by Kobina Arhin, has experienced persistent heating system issues in recent months, with four separate heat and hot water emergencies reported between February and May 2025, though each incident was resolved promptly according to HPD records. The 36-unit building, constructed in 1927, has undergone several heating system disruptions in 2025, including three verified cases of inadequate heat and hot water across the entire building between February and March. Earlier maintenance issues included plumbing concerns, cabinet problems, and flooring deficiencies reported in August 2023, though inspectors were unable to gain access for verification.
The building has had periodic pest management challenges, with a documented bedbug infestation in 2022 affecting one unit, though subsequent annual reports from 2023-2024 show zero infestations. Recent rodent inspections showed successful compliance in 2024-2025, with one failure noted in August 2023 citing "Other Reasons." The building's maintenance history reveals several housing code violations over the past few years, primarily relating to interior conditions. These include an active violation from 2024 regarding paint conditions in Apartment 1B, and previous issues in 2022 concerning self-closing doors in Apartment 3E and various repairs needed in Apartment D.
The property has maintained relatively consistent documentation of its heat, hot water, and pest management systems, though there have been recurring heating-related service requests and violations since 2023. Recent 311 complaints have shown some pattern of non-accessibility for inspectors, particularly in response to plumbing, cabinet, and flooring complaints in 2023-2024, suggesting possible communication challenges between tenants and inspection agencies. While the building has experienced these various maintenance issues, recent inspections have consistently passed for rodent activity, indicating successful pest control efforts in this area, and the bedbug infestation reports for 2023-2024 suggest improved pest management with no new cases reported.
