307 East 170th Street, Bronx, NY 10456

The 4-unit building at 307 East 170th Street in Claremont Village, owned by Donald Brown, has experienced numerous maintenance issues since 2024, with many unresolved violations. Most notably, Apartment 3B has multiple open violations as of August 2024, including mold issues, rodent infestation, and plumbing problems. The property has also faced significant repair needs in common areas, such as a broken intercom system and defective self-closing doors, with some violations classified as Class B and C, indicating varying levels of severity.

A concerning pattern emerged in April 2025, with multiple complaints filed with the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD), including issues with appliances (microwave, refrigerator, gas range), a slow water leak, and various sanitation concerns. While some of these complaints were resolved without violations, at least one resulted in official violations that must be addressed by the property owner. The building's maintenance history shows recurring issues with both rodent activity and water-related problems, with multiple inspections in 2024 revealing rat activity and the need for bait applications.

Between March and August 2024, there were several instances of water leaks reported, though many of these complaints were closed without violations being found during inspections. The property also has two active violations related to failure to file external low pressure inspections from 2019 and 2022, though one was dismissed in September 2023. Despite these challenges, the building has maintained an active bedbug reporting record for the past three years, consistently showing zero infested units.
