Questions about this building

Does 870 East 163 Street, Bronx have open violations?

Yes. 870 East 163 Street, Bronx had 120 open violations on October 10, 2026: 119 from HPD and 1 from OATH/ECB. 36 are Class C, the class HPD treats as immediately hazardous. The oldest open HPD violation has been open 17 years, since January 2, 2009.

Is 870 East 163 Street, Bronx getting better or worse?

Open violations are sitting, with little movement either way. 36 open Class C, with nothing filed or new in the last 180 days. That window ends October 10, 2026. It compares certifications filed with new Class C violations, and it describes what happened, not what anyone intends.

When were certifications filed on Class C violations at 870 East 163 Street, Bronx?

Since October 12, 2023, a certification was filed on 1 Class C violation, after the original certify-by date. A certification is the filing, dated when it was made, not HPD's acceptance of it. It is compared with the original certify-by date on the notice. A granted postponement moves that date and the city's data keeps only the first, so a certification counted after it may still have met a postponed date.

Does 870 East 163 Street, Bronx have an OATH hearing coming up?

Yes. A hearing on a DOB summons is set for October 23, 2026. DOB summonses are heard at OATH, the city's hearings office, and OATH can move a hearing to a later date. When nobody shows up, the summons is decided by default, the costliest way one ends.

Does 870 East 163 Street, Bronx have active DOB violations?

Yes. 1 active DOB violation, issued November 14, 2025. The Department of Buildings writes these separately from HPD's housing violations, for things like boilers, elevators, facades, construction and energy filings. Each one stays active until DOB resolves or dismisses it.

Has 870 East 163 Street, Bronx been in housing court?

Yes. 3 housing court cases here since 2009. HPD takes buildings to housing court to get violations fixed and heat and hot water restored, and it joins tenants' own repair cases, called tenant actions. A case stays open until the court closes it.

Has DOB received complaints about 870 East 163 Street, Bronx?

Yes. 5 DOB complaints in the 12 months to September 25, 2026. The newest was filed May 7, 2026. Anyone can complain to DOB about a building or the work going on in it, and DOB then inspects and decides whether there is a violation. A conversion complaint says an apartment may have been added or changed without approval. It is a complaint, not a finding.

Are any HPD emergency repair orders at 870 East 163 Street, Bronx marked completed?

Yes. 4 completed HPD emergency repair orders since October 12, 2023, awarded for $30,554 in total. The most recent of the 4, a general construction order, was opened November 20, 2025. HPD orders an emergency repair when a hazardous condition cited in a violation, or in another agency's emergency order, is not corrected, and does the work itself or through a contractor. The amounts are what the orders were awarded for, not a bill: this page does not show what was charged to the property or whether it was paid. Orders for lab tests, such as dust-wipe and asbestos samples, are not counted.

When was 870 East 163 Street, Bronx built?

The city's record gives 1910 as the year 870 East 163 Street, Bronx was built, in the Department of City Planning's PLUTO tax-lot file. The same file classes it as a residence with stores or offices with 3 floors.

How many apartments does 870 East 163 Street, Bronx have?

The Department of City Planning's PLUTO tax-lot file lists 3 residential units at 870 East 163 Street, Bronx. The count is for the whole tax lot.

Where do these numbers come from?

From New York City's own data: HPD housing violations and OATH/ECB hearing results, read whole rather than sampled. It also draws on OATH hearing dates, OATH/ECB summonses from DOB and FDNY, DOF's tax lien sale lists, DOB violations, HPD's housing court cases, DOB complaints, DOB NOW work permits, HPD emergency repair orders and the city's PLUTO tax-lot file. This page is current through October 10, 2026. The city's data changes daily, so a violation certified after that can still show as open here; the city's own page for this building is linked above.

Sources. HPD housing violations and OATH/ECB hearing results, plus OATH hearing dates, OATH/ECB summonses from DOB and FDNY, DOF's tax lien sale lists, DOB violations, HPD's housing court cases, DOB complaints, DOB NOW work permits, HPD emergency repair orders and the city's PLUTO tax-lot file. Counts cover HPD Class B and C violations from the last 3 years that HPD still shows open, and OATH/ECB summonses from the same 3 years that the city still shows active. The city's own pages can show more, never fewer.
