2431 Southern Boulevard, Bronx, NY 10458

The three-story, two-unit residential building at 2431 Southern Boulevard in the Belmont neighborhood, owned by Carmen Obando, has been in operation since 1901 and is classified as a New Law Tenement. The building's most pressing current issues center around persistent Housing Maintenance Code (HMC) violations related to bedbug reporting compliance, with four consecutive open violations from 2021 to 2024, indicating a recurring failure to submit required annual bedbug reports to the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD).

These violations, while administrative in nature, suggest ongoing challenges with pest management documentation. In terms of rodent control, the building has demonstrated generally good compliance, passing eight consecutive inspections between 2019 and 2024, with the most recent inspection in December 2024 showing compliance.

However, there is one notable exception - a failed inspection from June 2025, which marks a departure from the building's previously consistent rodent management record. This recent failure, combined with the ongoing bedbug reporting violations, suggests emerging concerns about pest management protocols in the building. It's worth noting that these inspection results indicate regular oversight and enforcement of housing standards, though the recent pattern of violations related to bedbug reporting and the most recent rodent inspection failure may impact resident comfort and safety.
