396 East 171st Street, Bronx, NY 10457
396 East 171st Street is a 4-story, 9-unit old law tenement building constructed in 1931, currently owned by Bertilio Ogando. The building has experienced several maintenance and compliance issues in recent years, with the most pressing concerns being related to pest management and boiler maintenance. As of June 2025, there are active violations regarding incomplete boiler inspection filings dating back to 2017-2022, with penalties totaling $3,125.
The building has also faced persistent rodent issues, with multiple inspections from late 2024 to mid-2025 consistently revealing rat activity, though bait was applied during some inspections. The property has a documented history of various maintenance concerns, particularly during late 2022 when multiple emergency complaints were filed regarding mold, heat/hot water, flooring, and appliance issues. While these complaints were investigated, no violations were issued by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD).
More recently, there have been several open bedbug-related violations from 2020-2024 suggesting non-compliance with annual reporting requirements. Additionally, the building has faced infrastructure challenges, including water leak and paint/plaster issues in 2020, and multiple window repairs needed in 2020-2021. Historical complaints from 2019 noted problems with the boiler system and concerns about illegal conversion, though these were subsequently closed. The property's recent rodent infestation pattern, with multiple inspections showing rat activity, represents the most critical ongoing health concern for residents.
