595 East 170th Street, Bronx, NY 10456
The 6-story, 83-unit building at 595 East 170th Street in Morrisania, owned by Paul Stein and constructed in 1931, has experienced numerous maintenance and safety challenges in recent years. Between April and June 2025, multiple housing maintenance code violations were documented, including issues with flooring, unsanitary conditions related to pests, and problems with cabinetry. Of particular concern is the pattern of rodent activity, with the most recent 311 complaint regarding rat sightings in June 2025, and multiple rodent inspections throughout 2025 showing consistent bait application requirements.
The building has also faced structural and maintenance issues, as evidenced by active ECB violations from 2024-2025 regarding the building's facade, including deteriorating brick masonry and mortar joints, and an emergency violation related to elevator safety. The property has undergone various inspections and has received multiple violation notices since 2023, including findings of water leaks, pest infestations, and problems with building systems. In November 2024, violations were issued regarding the elevator system's emergency phone and service functions.
The building's maintenance history shows attempts at addressing issues through permit issuances in 2019 and 2020 for unspecified work, though many violations remain open or were recently closed without prompt correction. The most recent documentation from July 2025 shows ongoing efforts to manage rodent issues, with bait applied during inspections, while several housing maintenance code complaints from April 2025 regarding flooring and sanitary conditions are still marked as open. The building's bedbug reporting history shows minimal infestation events, with only one documented case in 2019-2020, and zero reported infestations in subsequent years.
