3425 Dekalb Avenue, Bronx, NY 10467

The two-story, three-unit building at 3425 Dekalb Avenue in Norwood, owned by Ramon and Julieta Alcantara, has several concerning recent patterns regarding pest and rodent issues. Most notably, there are recurring violations related to inadequate filing of annual bedbug reports under NYC's Housing Maintenance Code - these violations have persisted from 2021 to 2024, indicating ongoing non-compliance with bedbug reporting requirements.

The building is also dealing with significant rodent problems, as evidenced by six rat activity inspections between 2022 and 2024, with the most recent inspections in October and June 2024 showing continued rodent presence. The property's maintenance history shows some plumbing-related issues dating back to 2018, including a plumbing work stoppage due to a suspended master plumber's license, though this appears to be resolved as the status is now marked as "CLOSED." The building's environmental and maintenance challenges are particularly notable for their persistence across multiple years.

While there have been some completed inspections showing "Passed" results between 2018-2019 for rodent activity, the more recent pattern suggests a recurring pest management challenge. The consistently open status of the bedbug report violations from 2021 through 2024, combined with the recent rat inspection results, suggests ongoing challenges with pest control and compliance with city regulations. It's worth noting that while there was a plumbing complaint in 2018 that resulted in a stop work order, there have been no recent plumbing-related violations on record, though it's unclear when or if this issue was fully addressed.
