408 East 142nd Street, Bronx, NY 10454

The two-story, two-unit residential building at 408 East 142nd Street, owned by Alida Camacho, has a documented history dating back to its 1910 construction in the Mott Haven neighborhood. The property has undergone regular rodent inspections over the years, with the most recent four inspections from 2019 through 2023 showing consistent compliance with no rat activity detected.

Notably, there was an uptick in rodent-related concerns in late 2012, with inspections in October and November of that year confirming rat activity, followed by four consecutive bait applications in December 2012 through January 2013. Since then, all inspections have shown passing results, indicating successful remediation of the rodent issues.

A significant incident was recorded in September 2018 involving an illegal animal kept as a pet, which remains unresolved as of now, with the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene having issued official warnings to the owner or landlord regarding potential violations and requiring corrective actions. While this complaint is not directly related to structural or safety issues, it does warrant attention regarding resident experience. The building appears to have maintained compliance with health and safety regulations in recent years, particularly regarding pest control, with no further rodent complaints or violations reported since the 2013 bait application inspections.
