2010 Mapes Avenue, Bronx, NY 10460

The three-story, three-unit Old Law Tenement building at 2010 Mapes Avenue in Tremont, owned by West Pond I LLC, has experienced persistent maintenance challenges since at least 2020. Most notably, there has been a recurring rodent issue documented through multiple inspections between 2020 and 2025, with the most recent bait application occurring in June 2025 following confirmed rat activity.

The building has also faced significant sanitary concerns, particularly in June 2025 when multiple Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) complaints regarding pests resulted in violations being issued. During the same month, there were additional complaints about doors/windows and wall conditions, though the latter two were found not to violate housing laws. The property has a history of various maintenance issues, including a 2022 heat/hot water emergency, and multiple code violations were documented during a September 2023 inspection.

These violations included requirements regarding gas leak procedures, self-closing doors, and inspection certificate display, all of which were subsequently certified as corrected in October 2023. The building's bedbug infestation history shows a pattern of eradications required between 2019 and 2022, with no reported infestations in the most recent three annual filings (2022-2024). While some improvements appear to have been made, with certain violations being addressed and no recent bedbug cases reported, the ongoing rodent control efforts and recent pest violations suggest that some maintenance challenges persist.
