817 East 168th Street, Bronx, NY 10459

The two-story, three-unit residential building at 817 East 168th Street in Morrisania, owned by Jernise Hobbs, has been in operation since 1899 and currently holds a "Hereafter Converted Class A" designation. The property has experienced recurring issues with compliance to New York City's bedbug reporting requirements, with open violations noted in 2022, 2023, and 2024 related to the failure to file annual bedbug reports as mandated by Housing Maintenance Code (HMC) § HMC.

These violations, while administrative in nature, indicate ongoing challenges with maintaining compliance with housing regulations. The building's maintenance history includes a refrigerator-related service request in May 2021, which was promptly addressed and closed within a few days.

The property has undergone several rodent inspections over the years, with a notable failure recorded in April 2022, though subsequent inspections in June 2022 and August 2022 resulted in passing grades, suggesting the issue was resolved. Historical inspection records show consistent passing results in previous years, from 2010 through 2018. While the bedbug report violations present a concerning pattern of non-compliance, it's worth noting that there have been no recorded complaints or violations related to pressing health and safety issues such as plumbing problems, electrical systems, or fire safety since 2010, with most recent maintenance issues being related to appliances and administrative matters.
