608 Wales Avenue, Bronx, NY 10455

The three-unit, three-story residential building at 608 Wales Avenue in Longwood, owned by Mohammed Ali and constructed in 2009, has experienced several notable events regarding pest control and maintenance compliance over the past decade and a half. Most recently, the building has maintained a clean record in terms of bedbug infestations, with the most recent bedbug report filing in June 2025 confirming zero infested units for the period between November 2023 and October 2024.

This follows a consistent pattern of successful pest management, as evidenced by the bedbug reports submitted since 2022, which have all indicated no infestations. However, the building's history reveals some initial challenges with rodent control and pest management in its early years. In 2010, there were multiple documented instances of rat activity during initial inspections in May and June, though these issues appeared to be resolved by the next compliance inspection.

A similar pattern occurred in July 2018, when rat activity was again noted during an initial inspection. Since then, the building has shown significant improvement: rodent inspections in 2012, 2013, and most recently in 2023 have all resulted in "Passed" ratings, suggesting that current pest management practices have been effective. It's worth noting that there was one housing maintenance code violation in 2022 regarding the timely filing of the annual bedbug report, though this appears to have been resolved as subsequent reports have been filed regularly and in compliance.
