888 Irvine Street, Bronx, NY 10474

The two-family house at 888 Irvine Street in Hunts Point, owned by Betty Tillman, has experienced several significant issues over recent years. Most concerning is a persistent rodent problem, with four separate pest-related incidents reported between 2020 and 2023, including two confirmed rat sightings in June 2020 and one in November 2021, followed by a condition-attracting rodents complaint in December 2023.

The Department of Health and Mental Hygiene documented violations requiring follow-up inspections in these cases. The building has also faced multiple compliance challenges related to inspections and construction activities. Two recent inspection attempts in late 2023 (November and December) were noted as "Access Denied – 2nd Attempt," suggesting difficulties in gaining entry for required evaluations.

In May 2021, there was a complaint regarding building shaking/vibration that resulted in an Oath Violation being served. Earlier construction-related issues were documented in June 2020, with complaints regarding work contrary to approved plans/permits and another permit-related violation, both resulting in Oath Violations being served on July 7, 2020. The property, constructed in 1899, is a two-story building with a total of 2 units, and while these records span several years, the most pressing current concern appears to be the ongoing rodent-related issues requiring health department attention as of late 2023.
