856 East 156th Street, Bronx, NY 10455

The property at 856 East 156th Street in Longwood is a 2-story, 3-unit building constructed in 1901 and currently owned by Jose Vega. The building's recent health and safety records show a consistent pattern of bedbug-related violations between 2021 and 2024, with the most recent notice issued in April 2024, requiring the owner to file annual bedbug reports in accordance with HPD regulations.

However, the latest bedbug report filed in October 2024 for the period of November 2022 to October 2023 indicates zero infested, eradicated, or re-infested units, suggesting successful compliance with eradication efforts. The building has undergone regular rodent inspections between 2010 and 2023, with the most recent inspection in February 2023 resulting in a "Passed" rating.

While there were some instances of rodent issues noted in earlier years, particularly a rat activity finding in September 2013 and bait application in August 2021, these appear to have been addressed successfully based on subsequent inspections. A Department of Buildings permit for work classified as "EW" was issued in May 2022 under job number 240317233, though the specific nature of the work is not detailed in the available data. Overall, while the building has faced recurring administrative violations related to bedbug reporting requirements, the current status suggests these issues have been resolved, and there are no recent safety violations on record that would indicate immediate concerns for residents.
