937 Jennings Street, Bronx, NY 10460

The three-unit, three-story Old Law Tenement building at 937 Jennings Street in East Morrisania, owned by Minerva Penafort, has experienced recurring housing maintenance code violations related to bedbug reporting requirements over the past four years. These violations, all classified as "A" (which indicates they are serious but not immediately hazardous), remain open and pertain to the building's failure to file the required annual bedbug reports with the NYC Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) as mandated by housing maintenance code.

The violation notices were issued in April 2024, March 2023, February 2022, and April 2021, indicating ongoing non-compliance with the reporting requirement. The building's rodent inspection history presents a mixed picture of pest control challenges.

Between 2015 and 2022, the property underwent multiple inspections, with several showing rat activity during 2016-2017, including an initial inspection in February 2017 and a compliance inspection in April 2017, where rat activity was confirmed. Since then, there have been periods of compliance, with the most recent rodent inspection in June 2022 resulting in a "Passed" status, suggesting some improvement in pest management. While the building has maintained rodent control measures in recent years (as indicated by the passed inspections), the repeated bedbug report violation suggests ongoing challenges with maintaining compliance with all housing code requirements.
