Repairs the city has ordered
Medium1 open order to fix something the city calls immediately dangerous.
The city’s most serious class. It covers things like no heat, no hot water, exposed wiring, broken locks and vermin — the landlord is required to fix them within 24 hours of being told.
Minor1 open order for a hazardous condition.
Hazardous conditions — peeling paint, broken plaster, a door that won’t lock. The landlord gets 30 days.
Minor1 open order for a minor problem.
Minor problems, 90 days to fix. A handful in a large building is ordinary; a lot of them suggests repairs are not being kept up with.
Heat and hot water
MediumTenants complained to 311 about heat or hot water 1 time in the last year.
Landlords must keep heat on from 1 October to 31 May, and hot water all year. Complaints here are from tenants in this building, not from us.
Pests
Health inspectors visited 4 times in the last two years and found no rat activity.
This is the health department turning up in person and looking. Separate from the violations below, which are written orders to the landlord.
No pest violations or bedbug reports on record.
Noise
1 noise complaint to 311 in the last year.
311 calls from this address. A busy street or a big building will always draw some — read the number against the size of the building.
The landlord
The owner is registered with the city, as required.
Buildings with three or more flats must register with the city every year, naming someone reachable.
Minor3 evictions carried out here in the last two years.
Evictions carried out by a city marshal. Some turnover is normal in a large building; a rate well above its size is worth asking about.
Owner on file: Bronx 161 LLC

Things to know
More violent crime than most areas we've checked
157 violent felonies reported within 500 m over the last 12 months — higher than 96% of the areas we've profiled.
Reported crime is counted within 500 m over 12 months, from NYPD complaint data, and split into violent and property offences because busy commercial blocks record far more theft than quiet residential ones. We don’t reduce a neighborhood to a single score, and no apartment is ever hidden from you based on its area. Checked 6 days ago.
