583 East 167th Street, Bronx, NY 10456

The two-story, five-unit building at 583 East 167th Street in Morrisania, owned by M Freund and constructed in 1920, has experienced significant maintenance challenges over the past three years. Most recently, in late 2023 to early 2024, there were multiple violations documented, including unsanitary conditions related to pests, electrical outlet and switch issues, and problems with the building's bell/buzzer/intercom system.

Apartment 3B has been particularly problematic, with violations recorded in March 2024 for pest infestations (specifically roaches), multiple repair needs including broken wood treads at the landing, defective self-closing doors, issues with smoke detector and carbon monoxide detector functionality, and problems with electrical outlets. The building has a history of water-related issues, with three separate water leak complaints recorded between 2022-2023, some classified as emergencies.

The property has undergone several rodent inspections, with evidence of rat activity documented in 2018-2023, though there have been no recorded bedbug infestations in the past five years. While many of the recent violations have been officially closed as of April 2024, they highlight ongoing maintenance challenges that have persisted despite previous inspections and interventions. The building's inspection history shows a mix of emergency and non-emergency issues, with a notable pattern of recurring problems, particularly in Apartment 3B and regarding building systems like intercoms and pest control.
