791 East 163rd Street, Bronx, NY 10456

The 2-family house at 791 East 163rd Street in Longwood, built in 1920 and currently owned by Prabu Ramlagan, has experienced several significant issues over the past few years, particularly during 2021. The building faced multiple construction-related complaints in March 2021, including allegations of work contrary to stop work orders and electrical wiring problems, though most of these complaints were ultimately found to be unsubstantiated based on department records.

More notably, there are a series of active Environmental Control Board (ECB) violations from 2021 that remain unresolved, with significant penalties totaling $115,000 across multiple violations for failure to comply with commissioner orders and file necessary corrections. The property has also accrued several Department of Buildings (DOB) violations related to external low-pressure inspections, with six separate infractions issued between 2018 and 2023, all of which remain active as of 2024.

These violations indicate a pattern of non-compliance with required safety inspections. Historical records show a concerning pattern of rodent activity in 2017-2018, with multiple instances of bait application required to address the problem, though a passed inspection in 2022 suggests some improvement in pest management. The building's violation history highlights ongoing issues with regulatory compliance and maintenance that have persisted over several years, with the most recent DOB violations indicating continuing oversight challenges as of 2023-2024.
