AI summary · updated June 2026

The three-unit, three-story building at 1704 Popham Avenue in Morris Heights, owned by Khadija Evans-bey, has a mixed record of maintenance and safety compliance since its construction in 1925. Most notably, between 2019 and 2024, the building received multiple Housing Maintenance Code violation notices regarding the failure to file annual bedbug reports, though these violations were subsequently closed. The property experienced a heat and hot water complaint in January 2019, which was classified as an emergency but resulted in the Department of Housing Preservation and Development being unable to gain access to perform inspections.

In terms of pest management, the building's most recent bedbug report filed in May 2025 (covering the period from November 2023 to October 2024) indicated no infested or previously infested units, suggesting successful pest control measures. The building has also undergone regular rodent inspections, with the most recent three (from 2023, 2024, and 2025) passing successfully. However, there were two rodent-related compliance failures recorded in 2016-2017, indicating historical challenges in this area. The consistent pattern of bedbug report violations from 2021 to 2024, while now resolved, suggests these administrative requirements were not prioritized in previous years.

Risk factors

What's driving this score

These are the three data points that most influenced this building's score — ranked by how much weight the model placed on each one.

Neighborhood (ZIP code)

The ZIP code captures local housing market conditions and enforcement patterns that affect all buildings in the area.
