1693 Nelson Avenue, Bronx, NY 10453

The three-story, three-unit residential building at 1693 Nelson Avenue in Morris Heights, owned by Jose Corsino and constructed in 1999, has maintained a consistent record of passing both rodent inspections and health department evaluations over the past several years. Most notably, the building has successfully passed its recent rodent inspections in May 2025 and October 2024, along with all previous annual inspections dating back to 2016, which demonstrates effective pest management practices.

While there were multiple rodent-related complaints in 2019, ranging from mouse sightings to signs of rodents, these were addressed promptly, and the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene found no violations during their inspections. The property is currently facing four open Housing Maintenance Code violations from 2021 to 2024, all concerning the failure to file mandatory annual bedbug reports as required by HPD rules.

While this represents a significant compliance issue, it's important to note that these violations are administrative in nature and do not necessarily indicate an active infestation problem, especially given the building's strong rodent inspection performance. The annual inspections and prompt response to complaints suggest that while there are regulatory compliance issues to be addressed, the building's overall maintenance and pest management practices appear to be generally effective.
