1052 College Avenue, Bronx, NY 10456

The three-story, New Law Tenement building at 1052 College Avenue in Concourse Village, owned by Ena Hamilton, was constructed in 1910 and contains three residential units. The property has experienced recurring pest management challenges over recent years, most notably with a consistent pattern of bedbug reporting violations.

Between 2021 and 2024, the building received four Housing Maintenance Code violations related to the failure to file annual bedbug reports as required by HPD regulations, with these violations remaining open as of April 2024. Additionally, there has been a documented issue with rodent activity, as evidenced by the initial inspections in June 2024 and February 2025 showing rat activity, though subsequent compliance inspections in July 2025 passed successfully. The building has a pattern of food establishment-related complaints, with two 311 service requests (in 2020 and 2025) regarding rodents, insects, and garbage issues, though these were ultimately closed, with the 2025 complaint being directed to the NYC Health Department for resolution.

The property's rodent inspection history shows a mix of initial inspections revealing rat activity and compliance inspections passing successfully, indicating ongoing efforts to address these public health concerns. Between 2022 and 2025, there have been several inspections recorded, including both initial and compliance checks, with varying outcomes related to sanitation and pest control. While the building has demonstrated some responsiveness to pest control and inspection requirements, as evidenced by passing compliance inspections, the persistent nature of the violations and the failure to close out bedbug reporting violations on record suggest ongoing challenges in maintaining full compliance with health and safety regulations.
