590 East 169th Street, Bronx, NY 10456

590 East 169th Street is a 4-story, 7-unit Old Law Tenement building located in the Morrisania neighborhood and owned by Andrew Kleiman. The building, constructed in 1910, has experienced ongoing maintenance challenges, particularly evident in 2024 with multiple complaints and violations related to sanitary conditions, pest infestations, and appliance issues.

Most notably, in October 2024, the Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) department issued violations for unsanitary conditions including vermin infestations, inadequate smoke detectors, carbon monoxide detectors, and multiple issues with the apartment's walls and appliances. Apartment 2A appears to be the primary focus of recent violations, documenting problems with mold, plumbing fixtures, and a non-functioning refrigerator, including one incident where it was reported as unable to store medical medication (Ozempic).

The building has a documented history of pest control efforts, particularly regarding rodent activity, with multiple inspections showing rat activity between 2017 and 2022, and bait being applied during several of these inspections. While 590 East 169th Street has not reported any bedbug incidents between 2018 and 2024 (as per bedbug reporting requirements), the building's maintenance history shows consistent challenges with both structural issues (including paint/plaster problems) and appliance reliability. The property also experienced some administrative issues in 2023 with the failure to file low pressure inspection documentation, though these violations were eventually dismissed in October 2023.
