424 East 159th Street, Bronx, NY 10451

424 East 159th Street is a 3-story, 3-unit residential building located in the Melrose neighborhood, owned by Farjana Morshed and constructed in 2001. The building has maintained an active compliance record with bedbug reporting requirements, with no documented infestations or eradication cases in the past five reporting periods from 2020 through 2024.

While the property has received four Housing Maintenance Code violations between 2021 and 2024 related to the bedbug reporting requirement, these have all been properly addressed and closed. The building's rodent inspection history shows generally good results, with a passed compliance inspection in May 2023 following a failed initial inspection in March 2023.

This failure marked the first non-compliance in rodent inspections since 2010, when the building consistently passed all inspections. The most recent inspections demonstrate that the property management has taken appropriate steps to address both rodent control and bedbug reporting requirements, as evidenced by the passing rodent inspection and updated bedbug filings. It's worth noting that the building was originally constructed as a "New Law Tenement" under the appropriate building class designation.
