530 East 169th Street, Bronx, NY 10456

The 530 East 169th Street building is a 17-story, 321-unit Class A residential development built in 1965, currently owned by Karan Singh. The property has faced persistent maintenance challenges in recent years, particularly in 2024-2025. Most notably, there have been multiple elevator-related issues, with active ECB violations totaling $31,250 in fines for "entire device out of service" conditions and other elevator device problems that present significant safety concerns for this high-rise building.

The structure has also experienced recurring water and mold issues, with violations documented in both apartments 10A and 4F for visible mold conditions, and multiple 2025 HPD complaints regarding water leaks. A concerning pattern of rodent activity has been documented through multiple inspections in 2024-2025, including recent rat activity as recently as May 2025. Additionally, there are numerous open HPD complaints from June 2025 regarding building systems, including intercom issues, door problems, and an open water leak complaint. Historical records show that the building has faced various quality of life and safety challenges, including heat and hot water system problems in June 2025 affecting multiple units, though these were reportedly resolved during inspection.

The property has two active Department of Buildings violations from January 2025 for failure to certify corrections on immediately hazardous conditions. Previous environmental concerns were documented in late 2024, including problems with building facade maintenance and concrete spalling on balconies. Despite these ongoing issues, there has been no reported bedbug infestation in the past year, according to the mandatory reporting system. The building's extensive violation history, recent service requests, and active complaints indicate persistent maintenance challenges that affect resident comfort and safety, particularly regarding building systems, pest control, and basic utilities.
