937 East 169th Street, Bronx, NY 10459

The three-story, three-unit Old Law Tenement at 937 East 169th Street in Longwood, built in 1907 and currently owned by Deborah Roberts, has experienced several notable maintenance issues in recent years. Most significantly, in late 2022, there were two separate incidents reported through HPD involving lack of heat/hot water throughout the building and sewer plumbing problems, though inspectors were unable to gain access to verify these conditions.

The building also received a violation in April 2021 related to the failure to file the required annual bedbug report, though subsequent filings from June 2021 through December 2024 indicate zero cases of infestation or re-infestation during these periods. The property's rodent inspection history shows a mixed record, with eight inspections conducted between 2010 and 2022.

While the building passed most recent inspections (2015, 2016, 2017, 2018, and 2022), it experienced two failures in 2017 and 2018, and bait was applied during two inspections in 2010. The most recent rodent inspection in August 2022 passed, indicating compliance with current pest control requirements. It's worth noting that the building's age and its designation as an Old Law Tenement may contribute to some of these maintenance challenges, though the consistent bedbug reporting with zero infestations suggests effective management of that particular issue.
