2154 Mapes Avenue, Bronx, NY 10460

The three-story, three-unit building at 2154 Mapes Avenue in the Belmont neighborhood, owned by Manuel De Los Santos, has consistent documentation showing both housing maintenance challenges and pest control adherence. Most notably, since 2021, the building has accumulated four consecutive Housing Maintenance Code violations related to the failure to file annual bedbug reports, with the most recent violation recorded in April 2024.

These open violations, while primarily administrative, indicate ongoing non-compliance with mandatory pest reporting requirements. In terms of pest control and sanitation, the property has demonstrated mixed results in rodent inspections.

The most recent inspection in January 2025 passed, following a pattern of passing inspections since 2019, suggesting effective pest management in recent years. However, there were two inspection failures recorded between 2016 and 2018, indicating past challenges that appear to have been resolved, as evidenced by the consistent passing results in subsequent inspections. The building's age (built in 1920) and history of inspection violations suggest that while some maintenance issues are being addressed, there remain areas requiring continued oversight, particularly regarding bedbug reporting compliance.
