2504 Bathgate Avenue, Bronx, NY 10458

The 3-unit residential building at 2504 Bathgate Avenue in Belmont, owned by Bathgate LLC, has experienced recurring maintenance challenges over the past two years that merit attention. Most notably, the building has multiple open violations regarding bedbug reporting requirements under the Housing Maintenance Code, with citations issued in 2023 and 2024 for failure to file the required annual bedbug report.

These violations are part of an ongoing pattern, as similar citations were issued and subsequently closed in 2021 and 2022. In terms of pest control, the building has faced significant rodent issues throughout late 2024 and into 2025. Between October 2024 and April 2025, there were several documented instances of rat activity, with at least three cases of rat activity being recorded during this period, including an initial inspection in April 2024 that noted rat activity.

While bait was applied during two inspections in 2025, suggesting some response to the infestation, the recurring nature of these inspections indicates an ongoing rodent control challenge. On a somewhat reassuring note, there were two successful compliance inspections in 2023 (April and October) that passed without incident, though these were prior to the more recent rodent activity issues. The building's relatively recent construction (built in 1992) and designation as a Class A building underscore its intended status as a permanent residential structure, though the current maintenance record suggests areas requiring attention for resident comfort and safety.
