163 West 195th Street, Bronx, NY 10468

163 West 195th Street is a 3-story residential building constructed in 2006, currently owned by Sisay Kassa, containing 3 apartment units. The most recent issues of concern occurred in August 2024, when multiple service requests were filed including heat/hot water problems (closed without inspection), and several paint/plaster issues involving walls in different units.

Apartment 3D, which appears to have significant ongoing maintenance challenges, has both open and recently closed violations from August 2024, including problems with pest infestations (roaches and mice), missing smoke detectors, and missing carbon monoxide detectors, though some violations related to painting and floor tiles were properly addressed. The building has experienced recurring maintenance issues throughout its history, particularly evident during 2021 when multiple violations were recorded for unsanitary conditions (including pests), appliance problems, and safety concerns regarding smoke and carbon monoxide detectors.

While the property has generally passed rodent inspections in recent years, there were notable failures in 2017 and 2024. The building's systems and infrastructure have shown consistent need for attention, with particular emphasis required on safety systems (smoke and carbon monoxide detectors), pest control, and general maintenance of common areas. The property has also required multiple bedbug reports to be filed between 2021 and 2024 to meet compliance requirements, though recent filings from 2024 show no current infestations.
