870 East 162nd Street, Bronx, NY 10459
870 East 162nd Street is a 6-story, 71-unit residential building constructed in 2001, currently owned by James Marley. The property has experienced recurring heating and hot water issues throughout 2025, with multiple emergency complaints filed between January and April 2025, including a recent building-wide heat and hot water complaint filed in April 2025 that remains unresolved pending tenant access for repairs. The building also faces ongoing maintenance challenges, including a Department of Health rodent inspection in February 2025 that failed for unspecified reasons and multiple housing code violations in 2024-2025.
These violations include past infestations (notably in apartments 5F and 6A), and various maintenance issues requiring repairs or replacements in multiple units, such as broken cabinets, door problems, and instances of mold. The building has a documented history of elevator service issues, with complaints filed in 2019 and 2021 regarding single device operation and lack of alternate service, though inspections did not result in violations being upheld. A significant elevator controller violation was issued in February 2020 regarding missing door lock monitoring equipment, with a $1,250 penalty that has been resolved.
While the property has passed several rodent inspections from 2010 through 2019, the most recent inspection fails to show compliance. Importantly, there have been no bedbug infestations reported in the past six years (2019-2025), and the building has undergone regular inspections by various city agencies, with most routine violations being resolved or dismissed. The property has experienced repeated heating system failures across multiple apartments, with 2022-2025 violations showing problems with both heat and hot water supply, particularly affecting apartments 2C and 5J.
