388 East 155th Street, Bronx, NY 10455

The 3-unit, 3-story tenement building at 388 East 155th Street in Melrose, owned by Arman Kohanbash, has a notable history of pest control challenges and safety compliance issues since 2020. Most concerning is the persistent rodent problem, with the most recent Department of Health inspections in 2022-2023 finding violations and requiring follow-up inspections.

Between 2023 and 2024, there were multiple rodent inspections with bait application, including one instance of recorded rat activity in February 2024. The building has also experienced window safety issues, with a 2023 inspection revealing missing or defective window guards that required installation in third-story Apartment 3 and throughout public hallways, though these violations were certified as closed in July 2023. The building's recent history shows some improvement in pest management, with no bedbug infestations reported in the last three annual filings (2022-2025), following incidents in 2022-2023 where three units were affected.

A 2009 violation related to a defective cement floor in the rear yard was documented but has since been resolved. The property has undergone regular oversight, with the most recent inspections focusing on rodent control, window safety, and bedbug management. The consistent pattern of rodent-related issues over multiple years suggests an ongoing challenge with building maintenance and pest control that has required sustained intervention from city agencies.
