1562 Minford Place, Bronx, NY 10460

1562 Minford Place is a 5-story, 20-unit residential building in East Morrisania, Bronx, owned by Minford Place Property LLC and constructed in 1931. The building has experienced recurring maintenance and safety issues over the past two years, with significant recent problems including rodent activity, mold, and unsanitary conditions. Most notably, in early 2024, multiple violations were documented in Apartment 4 (2nd floor), including rodent and cockroach infestations, mold problems, and various maintenance issues including damaged flooring and plaster surfaces.

The building has also faced heating system problems, with two heat/hot water complaints in December 2023, one of which resulted in an HPD inspection where access was not granted. More recent concerns include a rodent sighting in May 2024 that led to violations requiring follow-up inspections by the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene. The property has a concerning history of unsanitary conditions, with multiple documented issues between late 2023 and early 2024, including complaints about mold, pests, and various interior maintenance problems like paint/plaster damage.

A significant violation related to bedbug reporting compliance was recorded in April 2024, though previous annual reports from 2019-2025 show no documented infestations. The building's rodent control efforts show mixed results, with initial rat activity detected in June 2024, though a subsequent inspection in September 2024 passed. Notable historical data from 2018 shows patterns of rodent activity and compliance issues, including a currently active ECB violation from 2018 regarding failure to comply with Commissioner's Orders. Despite these ongoing maintenance challenges, the building has maintained a regular schedule of bedbug inspections and reporting, with no recorded infestations reported through official filings.
