313 East 170th Street, Bronx, NY 10456

The three-story, seven-unit residential building at 313 East 170th Street in Claremont Village, owned by Shaya Seidenfeld, has experienced several significant maintenance issues in recent years. Most notably, in March 2025, there were emergency plumbing and sewage problems that required HPD intervention, though these issues were reportedly corrected. The building has a documented history of water-related problems, including heavy flow and damp spot leaks reported in March 2022, with some resulting violations.

More recent concerns include multiple rodent inspections throughout 2023-2025 showing persistent rat activity and failures for other reasons, with the most recent compliance inspection in March 2025 also failing. The property has maintained an active compliance history with bedbug reporting, showing zero infestation reports for the past five years (2019-2024). It has undergone various inspections and received several violations and complaints since 1971, including historical issues with stair enclosure safety and plumbing modifications. Recent documentation shows violations related to failure to file annual boiler inspection reports in 2023, though these were later dismissed.

The building's permit history indicates regular maintenance and improvement work, with permits issued for various construction and repair projects between 2018 and 2023, including two active permits from 2022 and 2023 for alteration work. The property has had recurring issues with building systems requiring attention, as evidenced by multiple emergency complaints, housing maintenance violations, and rodent control challenges. While the building has demonstrated ability to address many of these issues through permits and repairs, the persistence of certain problems, particularly related to plumbing and pest control, suggests ongoing maintenance challenges. The bedbug reporting compliance indicates effective management of this specific concern, while the dismissal of several recent violations shows responsiveness to regulatory requirements.
