865 East 169th Street, Bronx, NY 10459

Located in the Morrisania neighborhood, 865 East 169th Street is a three-story, three-unit residential building constructed in 2006 and currently owned by Franklin Okojie. The property has maintained a generally good record of compliance with health and safety regulations, with regular rodent inspections occurring approximately annually since 2010, all of which have passed, including the most recent inspection in May 2025.

The building has also been free of any significant pest issues, with a bedbug report filed in 2019 showing no infestation, and the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene's recent investigation in May 2025 finding no violations related to rodents. Significant maintenance issues were documented in late 2018, particularly affecting the second apartment (Apt 2), where multiple violations were recorded including water leaks, broken plaster and paint surfaces, and pest infestations involving mice and roaches. These violations, categorized as Class A and B, pertained to various areas including door frames, walls, ceilings, and bathroom ventilation.

The building also has open violations from 2021-2024 related to the failure to file annual bedbug reports as required under the Housing Maintenance Code. While an apartment renovation filed in late 2022 for interior work, including partition alterations and plastering, suggests ongoing maintenance efforts, the building's history from 2018 shows a pattern of periodic maintenance issues that tenants should be aware of. The property has made efforts to address these issues, as evidenced by the closure of multiple complaints regarding paint/plaster issues from 2018, though with no violations initially issued during those inspections.
