765 East 166th Street, Bronx, NY 10456

The 32-unit, 6-story residential building at 765 East 166th Street, owned by Delphy Marrero, has experienced recurring maintenance and infrastructure issues since 2024, with the most pressing concerns centering around heating, electrical systems, and pest control. Most recently, in February 2025, there was a power outage that prompted an HPD inspection attempt, though inspectors were unable to gain access. The building has seen multiple heat/hot water-related complaints between late 2024 and early 2025, affecting both individual apartments and common areas, with some complaints resulting in inspections that found conditions did not violate housing laws.

There are significant ongoing concerns in apartment 5A regarding carbon monoxide and smoke detector compliance, as well as a roach infestation issue in unit 5B from late 2024 that remains unresolved. The building's infrastructure has been the subject of numerous complaints about elevator service, including multiple "No Alternate Service" issues in 2024, and there are active violations regarding energy efficiency score display requirements from 2021-2023. The building has a documented history of pest control challenges, with recent rodent inspections in late 2024 and early 2025 showing compliance failures.

Several maintenance issues were addressed through Housing Maintenance Code complaints in early 2025, including problems with ceiling paint, slow water leaks, and radiator plumbing. The property is currently facing multiple active violations, including facade maintenance concerns with bulging bricks and multiple active ECB violations related to elevator safety systems. While the building has maintained a relatively clean record for bedbug infestations over the past five years, with no reported cases, the ongoing issues with heating systems, electrical infrastructure, and pest control suggest persistent maintenance challenges. The elevator system has been a recurring concern, with multiple complaints about service interruptions and safety features over the past several years, though inspections typically found no violations at the time of review.
