715 Prospect Avenue, Bronx, NY 10455

The two-story, three-unit residential building at 715 Prospect Avenue in Longwood, owned by Ramon Sanchez, has been experiencing ongoing pest management challenges over the past several years. Most notably, the property has maintained a consistent record of rat activity from 2022 through 2024, with multiple bait applications documented throughout this period, including four in early 2024 and several compliance inspections showing persistent rat activity.

The property has also faced issues with compliance regarding bedbug reporting requirements; while recent filings (from 2022-2023) show no infested dwelling units reported, there were two Housing Maintenance Code violations in 2021-2022 specifically related to the failure to submit annual bedbug reports as required. An unsanitary animal complaint was made to the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene in June 2022, resulting in violations being found with follow-up inspections scheduled.

The building's recent history (2022-2025) shows a pattern of pest management efforts primarily focused on rodent control, with regular inspections and bait applications suggesting an ongoing commitment to addressing the issues, though the frequency and persistence of rat activity indicates challenges remain. While the bedbug situation appears to have been resolved since mid-2022, the property experienced multiple violations related to reporting requirements prior to that period. The most recent inspections and service requests suggest some level of oversight and response to pest issues, though the recurring nature of the rodent problems indicates this remains an area of concern for the property.
