29 East 169th Street, Bronx, NY 10452

The three-story, three-unit building at 29 East 169th Street in the Concourse neighborhood, constructed in 1920 and owned by Arman Kohan, has experienced recurring maintenance issues over recent years, with the most pressing concerns focused on building systems and basic habitability. As of April 2025, there was a heat and hot water complaint covering the entire building, though inspectors were unable to gain access to verify the conditions. In August 2024, multiple violations were documented including issues with paint/plaster (ceiling), unsanitary conditions (pests), plumbing (bathtub/shower), and door problems.

The building has faced chronic heating system concerns, as evidenced by multiple heat/hot water complaints, both building-wide and in individual units, including a serious emergency complaint in August 2024. The property has a documented history of water-related issues, with violations and complaints regarding leaks and plumbing fixtures, particularly affecting the first-floor apartment (1F), where multiple violations were recorded in August 2024 concerning water leaks, a defective bathtub, and water-related repairs needed in the kitchen. Pests have been an ongoing concern, with both 2024 and 2020 showing multiple pest-related violations.

While there have been periods of rodent activity noted during inspections, the most recent inspections in 2025 and 2024 resulted in passing grades, suggesting some improvement in pest control efforts. Notably, the building's bedbug report filings for the past three years show no current infestations, though there were reports of three units affected in 2022 and 2020 before eradication. The building's maintenance history indicates persistent challenges with basic services and maintenance compliance, though some recent violations have been certified as corrected.
