1321 Lafayette Avenue, Bronx, NY 10474

1321 Lafayette Avenue is a 3-story, 3-unit residential building constructed in 2000, located in Hunts Point and currently owned by Oscar Pereyra. The building has maintained a generally solid record over recent years, with consistent passing results on Rodent Inspections from 2018 through 2025, and no bedbug infestations reported in the most recent filing periods (2022-2025).

However, a notable cluster of maintenance issues occurred in October 2019, when multiple Housing Maintenance Code complaints were filed regarding water leaks, flooring problems, wall and ceiling conditions, and mold concerns - all categorized as either emergency or non-emergency issues. While these violations were officially closed by November 2019, the Department of Housing Preservation and Development's inability to gain access for inspection raises some concerns about the resolution process. The building has also had two annual Bedbug Report violations in 2021 and 2022 related to the filing requirement, though these were subsequently closed.

A structural safety issue was documented in 2019 regarding a loose wood handrail in the public stairway that required proper securing, which was certified as corrected by December 2019. More recently, the building has demonstrated consistent compliance with health and safety requirements, with regular rodent inspections passing and no bedbug infestations reported across multiple years of monitoring. The most recent health-related service request was a rodent sighting in June 2024, which was promptly investigated by the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene with no violations found.
