2846 Decatur Avenue, Bronx, NY 10458

The three-story, three-unit residential building at 2846 Decatur Avenue in Fordham, built in 1910, is currently owned by Joshua Richards. The property has demonstrated consistent compliance with bedbug reporting requirements over the past several years, with all recent filings from 2022 through 2024 showing zero infested units, zero eradicated units, and zero re-infested units. However, the building experienced rodent-related issues approximately two years prior, with initial inspections in 2024 and 2023 passing without incident.

Notably, there were two instances of rat activity in 2022 (May 24) and 2021 (April 21). The building's rodent inspection history shows a generally improving trend, with regular compliance pass rates since late 2022 suggesting effective pest management procedures have been implemented. The property has faced some compliance challenges in the past, particularly evident through two Housing Maintenance Code violations related to bedbug reporting requirements in 2021 and 2022.

These violations were classified as "Class A" but have since been resolved, as indicated by the current status. The most recent rodent inspections indicate a passing compliance status, suggesting improved management of pest control measures. Looking at the broader picture, the building's maintenance record shows significant improvement in recent years, with the most up-to-date bedbug reports consistently showing no infestation issues, though the building's age and historical inspection records suggest ongoing attention to pest management is warranted.
