590 East 165th Street, Bronx, NY 10456

590 East 165th Street is a 3-story, 3-unit residential building in Longwood, constructed in 1996 and currently owned by Garfield Daley. The property has recently encountered multiple unsanitary condition complaints as of May 2025, including issues with pests and garbage/recycling storage, all of which remain unresolved as of this report's writing.

This marks a concerning pattern, as the building has experienced recurring pest-related complaints over its history, with similar issues documented in October 2018. The building's maintenance record shows some attention to safety requirements, including past violations regarding fire egress and smoke detector requirements in 2018, which were subsequently corrected. More significantly, recent Department of Buildings investigations in 2023-2024 have revealed substantial concerns about unauthorized modifications to the property, including illegal conversion from a 3-family to a 4-family dwelling, and installation of partition walls and additional bathrooms without proper permits.

These violations have resulted in active penalties totaling $4,750. However, it's worth noting that the building has consistently passed rodent inspections from 2010 through 2022, and its bedbug reporting for 2020-2021 and 2019-2020 showed no infestations, though there were two violations for failure to file annual reports in 2022-2023. The building has also experienced various maintenance issues over the years, including water leaks and ceiling damage, though many of these were resolved without violations being issued during the 2018 inspections.
