929 East 169th Street, Bronx, NY 10459

The three-story, two-family house at 929 East 169th Street in Longwood, owned by Ana Sime, has experienced persistent heating and hot water issues throughout its recent history. Most notably, there have been three heat/hot water complaints in 2025 (with one resulting in a violation), multiple incidents in late 2021 (including several complaints within a short period), and numerous complaints in late 2021/early 2022, all indicating inadequate heating and hot water across the entire building or in individual apartments.

The building has also faced significant mechanical issues, with active violations related to failure to file external low-pressure inspections from 2019 through 2024, and a history of boiler-related violations in 2019 that resulted in fines totaling $3,125. The property has undergone several inspections related to pest control, with successful compliance for rodent inspections in 2015, 2016, 2017, 2018, and 2022, though there was one instance of rat activity recorded in 2014.

While the building has passed recent bedbug inspections for 2019-2020 and 2022-2023, it faced other maintenance challenges in 2021, including multiple violations in Apartment 1 related to window repairs, floor issues, and pest infestations. The Department of Buildings records show a complaint about illegal conversion from 2020 that required two inspection attempts for access. The building's maintenance history suggests recurring issues with basic services, particularly heating and hot water systems, requiring frequent intervention from the Department of Housing Preservation and Development.
