475 East 140th Street, Bronx, NY 10454

The five-story, 10-unit old law tenement building at 475 East 140th Street in Mott Haven, owned by Joseph Zitolo, has demonstrated consistent maintenance of basic living standards over the past decade and maintained a stable environment with respect to pest control. The building, constructed in 1902, has undergone regular inspections by the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene (DOHMH), specifically focusing on rodent control, with all inspections from 2010 through May 2023 resulting in "Passed" outcomes, indicating no violations were found.

While there were three reports of rat sightings between 2021 and 2022, no violations were identified during the subsequent DOHMH inspections of these incidents. The property's bedbug reporting history from 2019 to present is notably clean, with no infested units reported in any of the annual filings from 2019 through the most recent report in December 2024.

The building's owners have consistently maintained compliance with New York City health and safety regulations, as evidenced by the passing of regular rodent inspections and the absence of reported infestations over an extended period. The most recent rodent inspection in May 2023 continued this pattern of compliance, marking it as the tenth consecutive passed inspection specifically focused on rodent control since 2010.
