789 East 166th Street, Bronx, NY 10456

The five-story, 25-unit building at 789 East 166th Street in the Longwood neighborhood, built in 1913 and currently owned by Shlo-yank Holding Ltd, has experienced several significant maintenance issues in recent years. Most notably, there are currently several open violations associated with apartment 5E, including active mold issues, pest infestations (roaches and mice), and problems with ceramic floor tiles documented between March 2024 and August 2024.

The building has also faced multiple maintenance challenges in 2024, with complaints about water leaks, lighting, and plaster work, though many of these issues were resolved through HPD intervention. Historical records show consistent rodent inspection compliance since at least 2010, with all inspections passing, and the building has maintained a clean record for bedbug incidents over the past five years, with no reported cases between 2019 and 2024. The property has documented various infrastructure and maintenance needs, including issues with the building's bell/buzzer/intercom system, plumbing concerns (toilets), and general maintenance of walls and ceilings.

While some violations have been successfully addressed and closed, such as certain water leak and mold issues from 2023, there remain active concerns that require attention, particularly in apartment 5E. The building's emergency and non-emergency service requests in 2024 encompassed a range of issues, from lighting problems to ceiling and wall maintenance, with most being resolved following HPD inspections. Despite these challenges, the building has demonstrated compliance with rodent control requirements and maintained a consistent record of no bedbug infestations over recent inspection periods.
