963 East 165th Street, Bronx, NY 10459

The three-story, two-family house at 963 East 165th Street in Longwood, owned by James Guarino, has maintained a generally stable residential record since its construction in 1905. The building's most recent inspection period, dating from 2023 through 2024, shows no reported instances of bedbug infestations, and this pattern of consistent pest-free reports has been maintained since 2019.

However, there is a notable historical pattern of rodent-related issues from 2011 to 2017, with multiple inspections indicating rat activity during this period, including an initial inspection in August 2017 where rat activity was confirmed. The building's condition improved significantly thereafter, with all subsequent rodent inspections from late 2017 onward showing passing results, including a compliance inspection in October 2017 which demonstrated successful resolution of previous rodent problems. The property's inspection history reveals previous compliance issues related to rodents and other unspecified reasons between 2010 and 2012, with particular concerns noted during both initial and compliance inspections in mid-2010.

More recently, since 2017, the building has demonstrated improved pest management, with no further rodent violations recorded. The consistent annual bedbug reporting from 2019 to 2024 has indicated zero infested units each year, suggesting effective ongoing pest control measures. While the historical rodent concerns represent the building's most significant maintenance challenge, the absence of recent pest-related violations and successful resolution of rodent issues over the past six years indicates improved management practices have been implemented.
