583 East 168th Street, Bronx, NY 10456

The property at 583 East 168th Street is a 2-family house built in 2007, currently owned by Xiaohong Li. The building has undergone significant maintenance and regulatory scrutiny since 2018, with particular attention required in 2021 when multiple serious issues were documented. These included several open Class B violations from July 2021 relating to safety concerns, such as defective carbon monoxide detectors and a mouse infestation in the ground floor apartment, as well as various maintenance issues including damaged kitchen cabinets, bathroom grout problems, and a defective door frame.

Earlier in 2021, there were multiple plumbing-related emergencies documented through 311 complaints, including issues with toilets, bathtubs/showers, and water leaks, though some inspection access was not granted. The building's first floor faced major regulatory actions in 2021, including Environmental Control Board violations for unauthorized work and occupancy changes, with fines for illegal conversions of garage space into living areas with plumbing and kitchen facilities. The property has shown inconsistent maintenance of pest control, with a rodent inspection in September 2022 noting rat activity, following an August 2022 inspection with the same result, while earlier inspections from 2016 to 2018 had shown no such issues.

Historical records from 2012 show previous baiting efforts for pests. The building's plumbing systems have been a recurring source of complaints, with multiple reported issues between February and July 2021, though some complaints were not able to be inspected. The most recent bedbug report from December 2021 showed no infested units during the 2020-2021 filing period. The property currently has several open violations that remain unresolved as of the latest documentation, though there have been some improvements noted in recent inspections.
