15 West 184th Street, Bronx, NY 10468

The three-story, two-family house at 15 West 184th Street in University Heights, owned by Aaron Kozhinoff and constructed in 1901, has experienced recurring rodent-related challenges over the past several years. Most concerning is the recent pattern of rat activity, with inspections in May and July 2025 showing ongoing pest issues, despite previous inspections in 2023 and 2024 generally passing without major violations.

The building has documented two significant Housing Maintenance Code violations from February 2018, relating to accumulation of refuse and rubbish in the front yard and basement stairway areas, though these violations were subsequently closed. The property has undergone regular rodent inspections as part of compliance requirements, showing a mix of results between 2022 and 2025. Notably, following a failed inspection in May 2023 for "Other Reasons," subsequent inspections in July 2023 and later dates have typically resulted in passing grades.

A DOHMH complaint regarding a rat sighting from May 2020 was investigated and resulted in a minor violation, though the inspection found the property generally complied with health regulations at that time. The most recent inspections in mid-2025 indicate continuing pest control challenges that have not yet been fully resolved. While there have been no recent major Housing Maintenance Code violations reported since 2018, the persistent rodent activity suggests ongoing maintenance challenges within the building and immediate surroundings.
