2002 Mapes Avenue, Bronx, NY 10460

The 2-story, 3-unit residential building at 2002 Mapes Avenue in Tremont, owned by Jonathan Noonan and constructed in 1994, has experienced ongoing pest management challenges over the past two years. Most notably, from mid-2024 through July 2025, there has been a persistent pattern of rodent activity, with multiple inspections showing rat presence and follow-up bait applications. The Department of Health and Mental Hygiene has documented multiple violations during this period, with the most recent inspection in July 2025 confirming continued rat activity.

These inspections were preceded by several service requests throughout 2024-2025, including at least five instances where violations were documented, requiring follow-up inspections. The building has also faced structural challenges, including a significant water leak incident reported in June 2021 (which HPD could not inspect), and electrical issues in July 2020. Additionally, the property has multiple open violations related to bedbug reporting requirements, including inspections in 2022, 2023, and 2024, all noting the same issue regarding the failure to file annual bedbug reports as mandated by HPD regulations.

While the building has passed some inspections, particularly regarding rodent conditions in March 2024, the overall pattern of repeated pest management issues and open violations suggests ongoing maintenance challenges that require attention. The data indicates a building with recurring pest management challenges, particularly regarding rodent control, as well as notable violations concerning bedbug reporting requirements. However, there have been periods where inspections did not find violations, such as the March 2024 rodent inspection, and some earlier complaints were closed without violations being found.
