961 East 167th Street, Bronx, NY 10459
The four-story, six-unit tenement building at 961 East 167th Street in Longwood, owned by Yoel Shaffer and built in 1920, has experienced several maintenance challenges over recent years. The most pressing current issues are related to non-compliance with external low-pressure inspection filing requirements, with active violations issued in June 2023 for the years 2018-2021.
The building has also faced structural and safety concerns, including a significant sidewalk shed maintenance violation in June 2022 that resulted in penalties totaling $3,020, and earlier violations in 2020 regarding building wall maintenance and defective handrails. While the building experienced water leak issues in 2019-2020 and had to address bedbug reporting compliance violations in both 2021 and 2022, more recently there have been no reported infestations or complaints of this nature.
The property has shown improvement in pest control management, with rodent inspections in 2022-2025 passing consistently, though there were multiple instances of rat activity and bait application noted between 2018-2020. The building underwent special operations compliance inspections in 2020-2021, and while there were some violations issued during these periods, many have been resolved or dismissed. The most recent bedbug and rodent inspection reports indicate these hazards have been effectively managed, though the outstanding violations related to low-pressure inspection filing represent the current primary regulatory concern.
