342 Brook Avenue, Bronx, NY 10454

342 Brook Avenue is a 4-story, 6-unit residential building located in the Mott Haven neighborhood of NYC, owned by Juan Fernandez and constructed in 1920 as an Old Law Tenement. The building has consistently demonstrated compliance with bedbug reporting requirements over the past three years, with no reported infestations or eradications between November 2022 and October 2023, and similarly no issues during the previous reporting period from November 2020 to October 2021.

The property has maintained a generally positive record regarding rodent inspections, achieving passing grades in the most recent inspection in May 2023 and the previous year's inspection in April 2022. However, there were two notable instances of failure in rodent inspections - in February 2022 and March 2017 - where violations were attributed to unspecified "Other Reasons." The building's violation history reveals recurring administrative issues related to bedbug reporting, with Notices of Violation (NOVs) issued in 2021, 2022, and most recently in March 2023, all concerning the requirement to file annual bedbug reports with HPD.

While these violations were technically classified as Class A, which typically includes more serious safety concerns, it's worth noting that these were related to reporting compliance rather than actual bedbug presence, and the most recent report (March 2024) shows zero infestations. The building's rodent management record demonstrates overall improvement, with more recent inspections showing consistent passing results, suggesting improved maintenance standards in this area.
