2986 Bainbridge Avenue, Bronx, NY 10458

The four-story, three-unit residential building at 2986 Bainbridge Avenue in Norwood, owned by Ellie Enterprises, has experienced consistent monitoring and some concerning issues since its construction in 2007. Most notably, there has been a recurring pattern of bedbug-related violations from 2021 through 2024, with the building receiving Class A housing maintenance code violations for failing to file annual bedbug reports, though recent filings for 2024-2025 show no infested units, suggesting improved compliance.

The building has a documented history of elevator maintenance issues, with active violations as recent as 2021 related to inspection/test failures, though some past violations from 2019 were dismissed based on subsequent corrections. Recent rodent activity has been a significant concern, particularly in 2024, when inspections in May and August noted rat activity, though bait was applied in May 2025 inspections.

The building's maintenance record shows a mix of resolved and active violations, with consistent attention paid to compliance issues over the years. While earlier inspections between 2016-2018 generally passed rodent inspections, the more recent pattern indicates ongoing challenges with pest control. The property has demonstrated some improvements in bedbug management based on recent reporting periods showing zero infested or re-infested units, though the frequency of violations suggests past difficulties with compliance before 2024.
