370 Willis Avenue, Bronx, NY 10454

The two-family house at 370 Willis Avenue in Mott Haven, owned by David Sadykov, has experienced persistent rodent issues over recent years, with multiple inspections between 2019 and 2023 showing rat activity, though recent bedbug inspections from 2023 and 2024 report no infestations. The building, constructed in 1931 and comprising two stories, underwent significant scrutiny in 2011 when multiple Housing Maintenance Code violations were documented, revealing various maintenance issues including defective doors, inadequate lighting, encumbrances in public areas, and a confirmed rodent infestation in one apartment.

The building's recent history has been marked by multiple Department of Buildings (DOB) violations related to pressure system inspections, with active violations as of September 2024 indicating failures to file required external and internal high/low pressure inspections between 2020 and 2023. The property underwent construction work between 2020 and 2021, during which time several construction safety violations were recorded, including inadequate job site fencing, lack of overhead protection, missing sidewalk sheds, and failure to maintain proper safety documentation, resulting in penalties totaling $30,000.

Following these issues, there were subsequent permit issuances between 2019 and 2021 suggesting ongoing construction activity. Recent inspections in 2022 and 2023 have shown continued rat activity, indicating persistent pest management challenges. While the building's basic services appear to be functioning, as evidenced by completed permit issuances, the cumulative record of rodent problems, historical maintenance violations, and current inspection non-compliance suggests ongoing management challenges.
