1754 Weeks Avenue, Bronx, NY 10457

The property at 1754 Weeks Avenue is an 11-unit, 3-story New Law Tenement building located in the Mount Hope neighborhood, owned by Moses Ostreicher and constructed in 1930. The building has experienced recurring rodent-related issues, with the most recent complaint in March 2023 reporting a mouse sighting, though no violations were found during the subsequent Health Department inspection.

Between 2022 and 2025, there have been multiple rodent inspections, with the most recent in May 2025 passing without issues, though there was one instance of rat activity noted in May 2023. The building has also faced compliance issues regarding bedbug reporting, receiving violations in 2022, 2023, and 2024 for failing to file the required annual bedbug report, though subsequent filings for the 2023-2024 period indicated no infested, eradicated, or re-infested units. In terms of building maintenance issues, there was a power outage incident in November 2020 investigated by the Housing Preservation and Development department, which resulted in no violations.

More recently, in January 2023, there was a violation related to work being conducted without proper permits, specifically concerning the interior renovation of the building, which was subsequently resolved through the Environmental Control Board. The property has generally maintained passing inspections for rodent conditions since late 2023, with consistent compliance demonstrated in most recent inspections. The building's management appears to be actively addressing both pest control and building maintenance issues, as evidenced by the multiple inspections and corrections made in response to violations, though the pattern of bedbug reporting violations and rodent-related complaints suggests ongoing challenges with maintaining full compliance with health regulations.
