647 East Tremont Avenue, Bronx, NY 10457

The three-story, two-family house at 647 East Tremont Avenue, owned by Norea Raziq, has experienced several significant maintenance challenges over recent years. Most notably, from July to August 2022, the building faced multiple non-violent issues, including electrical problems (power outage and outlet/switch issues), plumbing concerns (multiple water leaks of varying severity), pest problems, door issues, wall damage, and cabinet problems - all of which were investigated by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) but did not result in any building code violations. More recent concerns at the property include a health department inspection related to food contamination in May 2024, though the specific details and implications of this incident are not clear from the records.

Of particular note is the building's current rodent activity situation; between January and June 2025, there have been multiple inspections showing rat activity, with bait applied in June 2025 and at least two confirmed instances of rat activity in the first half of 2025. In terms of pest control, the building has maintained a clean record regarding bedbugs, with six consecutive annual reports from 2020-2025 showing zero infested units, which indicates effective pest management in this regard. The property's rodent management requires attention, as evidenced by the pattern of inspections and bait applications in 2025, following a somewhat more stable period from 2016-2027 where the building passed several inspections with either rat activity noted or compliance achieved.

While the building's bedbug management appears exemplary with consistent zero infestation reports, the recent surge in rodent activity and the cluster of maintenance issues in mid-2022 suggest that while the some issues have been addressed, others persist. These maintenance challenges occurred in summer 2022 when multiple simultaneous issues were reported, including water leaks (both heavy flow and slow leaks), electrical problems, pest infestations, and more. The property is currently in good standing with regard to bedbug infestation, though the rodent inspections indicate a current challenge that appears to be actively managed through bait application as of mid-2025.
