815 Elton Avenue, Bronx, NY 10451

The 3-story, 3-unit residential building at 815 Elton Avenue in the Melrose neighborhood, owned by Michael Wire, was constructed in 2001 and has experienced several notable events regarding pest management over recent years. The building has maintained an impeccable bedbug record for the past three reporting periods (2021-2022, 2022-2023, and 2023-2024), with no reported infestations, successful eradications, or re-infestations, as confirmed by the July 2024 bedbug report.

However, there have been four consecutive Housing Maintenance Code violations from 2021-2024 related to the annual bedbug reporting requirement, though these violations are marked as "Close," suggesting resolution. The building's rodent inspection history shows a generally positive trend, with the most recent inspection in March 2023 resulting in a "Passed" status, following a "Compliance" inspection in December 2017 that also passed.

Notably, there was one instance of "Rat Activity" reported during a June 2017 initial inspection, which stands out as the only non-passing rodent inspection in the last 15 years. The property's rodent management appears to have improved, with no further rodent issues reported in subsequent inspections. Overall, while the building has experienced some administrative issues with bedbug reporting compliance, the actual pest control outcomes — both for bedbugs and rodents — have been positive, particularly in recent years.
