934 East 165th Street, Bronx, NY 10459

The three-story, three-unit building at 934 East 165th Street in Longwood, owned by Arsen Yakubov, was constructed in 2005 and has recently experienced numerous maintenance issues requiring attention. As of March 2025, there are multiple open complaints with HPD, including problems with electrical outlets and lighting, plumbing issues with sinks, safety concerns regarding smoke detectors, and a malfunctioning electric/gas range.

The building has a documented history of various maintenance challenges, with significant violations noted in December 2024 including issues with door/window mechanisms, heat/hot water systems, and water leaks, particularly in apartment 1 which has multiple open violations related to plumbing and carbon monoxide detection systems. The building's mechanical systems have been under scrutiny, with an active ECB violation from 2018 regarding a defective boiler in apartment 3, and a 2023 complaint about the boiler's operation access that was unable to be inspected. The property has undergone routine rodent inspections between 2016 and 2022, with documented rodent activity in eight instances, though recent inspections have shown compliance.

A bedbug report filed in late 2024 covering the period from November 2022 to October 2023 indicated no infestations or reinfestations during this time. Earlier maintenance issues from 2024 included excessive hot water temperatures, window repairs, and various violations related to self-closing doors. The building's maintenance history suggests ongoing challenges with both mechanical systems and basic safety equipment, as evidenced by the recurring nature of these violations and open complaints in multiple housing categories.
