2491 Lorillard Place, Bronx, NY 10458

The three-unit residential building at 2491 Lorillard Place in Belmont, owned by Julio Pena, has experienced several notable maintenance and compliance issues since its construction in 1997. Most recently, in early 2023, the property faced multiple complaints regarding unsanitary conditions, including reports of mold and pests, though inspections by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) did not result in any violations.

The building has open violations related to the failure to file annual bedbug reports for both 2022 and 2023, which were previously noted as violations in 2021, 2020, 2019, and 2018, suggesting a recurring oversight in reporting requirements. An environmental control board violation from May 2018 remains active, regarding occupancy of altered spaces without a proper Certificate of Occupancy, with a penalty of $1,250 associated with former garage areas being used as living spaces. Despite these issues, the building has maintained good standing in recent inspections, with rodent inspections conducted between 2019 and 2025 consistently showing passing results.

The property has demonstrated compliance with HPD rodent control requirements, as evidenced by regular inspections showing no violations. During the 2020-2021 bedbug reporting period, the property reported zero infested units, though this would presumably need to be verified against subsequent reporting periods. The building's maintenance history shows a pattern of addressing various environmental concerns, with multiple inspections conducted by HPD and the Department of Buildings, though some long-standing compliance issues remain unresolved as of 2025.
