818 East 166th Street, Bronx, NY 10459

The 15-unit, 5-story tenement building at 818 East 166th Street in Longwood, owned by Martin Dunn, has a documented history of significant maintenance issues, particularly regarding water and heating systems, since 2023. Most recently, in February 2025, there were multiple emergency complaints about inadequate heat and hot water throughout the entire building, with several complaints resulting in violations. The building has experienced recurring water-related problems, with four separate incidents reported between 2023 and 2024, including heavy flow and slow leaks, as well as unsanitary conditions related to pests reported in October 2024 that resulted in violations.

Apartment 2A has several open violations from October 2024 concerning water leaks, defective plaster, and a rodent infestation. The building's heating system maintenance has been particularly problematic, with multiple emergency complaints about heat and hot water issues continuing into 2025. The property has maintained a relatively clean record regarding bedbug infestations, with multiple reports between 2019 and 2023 showing no infested units.

Historical records show consistent rodent inspection compliance, with only one instance of rat activity noted in 2011, though more recent pest-related violations were documented in 2024. The building's boiler system has undergone scrutiny, with a complaint about defective equipment investigated in 2018, though no violations were found at that time. While the property has passed multiple rodent inspections between 2010 and 2022, the recent pest violations in 2024 suggest an emerging maintenance challenge.
