160 West Kingsbridge Rd, Bronx, NY 10463

160 West Kingsbridge Road, a 36-unit, 6-story New Law Tenement built in 1927, has presented numerous challenges and ongoing maintenance issues under its current ownership by MGSA I LLC. The building has experienced recurring problems with heat and hot water systems, particularly evidenced by multiple HPD complaints throughout 2025, though inspections generally found these issues resolved upon follow-up.

More concerning are the recent rodent infestation problems, with confirmed rat activity documented in May 2023 through June 2025, and inspections showing ongoing rodent activity despite bait application attempts. The property has also faced significant structural and safety concerns, particularly in 2024-2025, including violations related to the building's facade with documented issues such as a severely cracked parapet, damaged window lintels, and multiple broken windows. There are active ECB violations related to failure to maintain building safety measures, including obstructions in exit passageways and failure to comply with a vacate order.

The building's plumbing systems have been a persistent problem, with multiple complaints about sinks, bathtubs, and other fixtures requiring repairs or exhibiting leaks. Notably, recent Housing Maintenance Code complaints from June 2025 suggest ongoing issues with plumbing, pest control, and painting that remain unaddressed. While the building's management has generally complied with bedbug management protocols, with no infestations reported in the past three years, the frequency and variety of ongoing maintenance issues raise significant questions about the property's current condition and management practices.
