852 Fairmount Place, Bronx, NY 10460

The three-story, three-unit residential building at 852 Fairmount Place in Tremont, owned by Eridiana Diaz, was constructed in 2002 and has experienced recurring rodent issues over the past several years. Most recently, in July 2023, a rat sighting prompted a Department of Health and Mental Hygiene (DOHMH) inspection that revealed violations requiring follow-up inspections. Initial rodent activity was noted in January 2025, though a compliance inspection in March 2025 resulted in a passing grade.

This pattern of rodent-related issues is significant, with documented rodent activity in August 2023 and multiple previous instances throughout 2017-2018 showing similar concerns. The building has also faced administrative challenges regarding bedbug reporting compliance. In March and April of 2022-2023, and again in 2021, violations were recorded related to the failure to file the required annual bedbug reports according to HPD rules.

However, since then, the building has submitted three consecutive reports (2021-2022, 2022-2023, and 2024) showing no bedbug infestations, eradications, or re-infestations in any dwelling units. This indicates improved compliance with bedbug reporting requirements, despite the initial violations. While the building has maintained a passing grade on multiple rodent inspections from 2018-2023, the recent rodent activity and DOHMH violations suggest ongoing pest management challenges that require monitoring.
