377 East 157th Street, Bronx, NY 10451

The three-story, three-unit residential building at 377 East 157th Street in Melrose, owned by Gregorio Sanchez, has experienced persistent pest management challenges since 2022. Most notably, there has been an ongoing issue with bedbug reporting compliance, as evidenced by four consecutive Housing Maintenance Code violations between 2021 and 2024 regarding the failure to file annual bedbug reports.

While the building has submitted bedbug reports for the 2021-2022 and 2020-2021 periods showing zero infested units, the repeated violations suggest ongoing concerns with proper reporting procedures. More recently, the building has faced significant rodent control challenges, particularly in the latter half of 2023.

Multiple bait applications were conducted in September and October 2023, following earlier inspections in March and June 2023 that documented rat activity. This pattern of rodent activity represents a notable decline in pest management conditions compared to earlier years, when the building passed initial rodent inspections in 2010 and 2011. The most recent violations and inspection results suggest that pest management remains an area of concern for this property, with more frequent interventions required to address ongoing pest issues since 2022.
