160 Pilot Street, Bronx, NY 10464

At 160 Pilot Street, a 4-story, 131-unit building constructed in 1981 on City Island, several significant issues have emerged over recent years. The property has experienced recurring problems with pests, particularly bedbugs, with the most recent violation in May 2023 affecting Apartment 115 and previous infestations affecting multiple units. Notably, in 2023 the building had multiple power outages, with one being treated as an immediate emergency in April, and issues with an electric range reported in April of that year.

More concerning is the current active violation from June 2023 regarding the failure to file required external low pressure inspections for both 2018 and 2021. The building's maintenance record shows some electrical infrastructure concerns as evidenced by violations in 2022 in Apartment 115, relating to electrical outlet security and maintenance. The building's history also reveals a pattern of unsanitary conditions, particularly in 2022 and 2023, some of which were classified as emergencies.

While there have been periodic rodent inspections, results have been mixed, with failures noted in 2017. The property's management (led by owner James Livingston) has shown some responsiveness to violations, as indicated by the certification of bedbug eradication in May 2023; however, many issues remain unresolved or show recurring patterns, particularly regarding pest management and infrastructure maintenance. The building's age and size are typical for the area, but the frequency and nature of these complaints suggest ongoing challenges with building maintenance and resident comfort.
