133 West 197th Street, Bronx, NY 10468

Located in the Kingsbridge neighborhood, 133 West 197th Street is a two-story, three-unit residential building constructed in 1920 and currently owned by Elkin Garcia. The property has experienced recurring issues regarding bedbug reporting compliance, with open violations on record for 2022, 2023, and most recently in 2024, all related to the failure to file the required annual bedbug reports as mandated by Housing Maintenance Code.

These violations stand out as the building's most significant and persistent regulatory challenges. In contrast, the building has maintained an exemplary record in rodent control inspections, demonstrating consistent compliance with health and safety standards.

All rodent inspections conducted from 2017 through 2025 have resulted in passing grades, with the most recent inspection in April 2025 being no exception. Given this pattern, while the bedbug reporting violations indicate some administrative oversight, the building's rodent control success suggests a generally well-maintained property in terms of pest management. The bedbug reporting violations, while important, appear to be more procedural in nature rather than indicative of an active infestation problem, particularly as the building's 2021 bedbug report showed no infested, eradicated, or re-infested units during the 2019-2020 reporting period.
