800 Courtlandt Avenue, Bronx, NY 10451

The three-unit residential building at 800 Courtlandt Avenue in Melrose, owned by Roberto Batista, has been in operation since 2002 and is classified as a Class A building under the New York City Housing Maintenance Code. The most significant and recurring issue evident in the building's history is the failure to submit the required annual bedbug reports to the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) over at least four consecutive years from 2021 through 2024, with the most recent violation recorded in April 2024 remaining open.

This repeated non-compliance with HMC requirements raises concerns about adherence to other housing maintenance obligations. In terms of pest management, the building has maintained a consistent record of successful rodent inspections, with all five inspections conducted between 2009 and 2023 passing without incident.

These inspections indicate effective management of rodent-related issues over an extended period, contrasting with the bedbug reporting compliance issues. While the building's relatively recent construction (2002) and small size (three units) suggest it should be capable of maintaining modern housing standards, the pattern of bedbug report violations over multiple years points to potential administrative challenges in meeting housing maintenance requirements, despite the successful rodent management record.
