3514 Wayne Avenue, Bronx, NY 10467

The four-unit residential building at 3514 Wayne Avenue in Norwood, owned by Ed Pfleging and constructed in 1920 as a two-story structure, has experienced persistent pest management challenges in recent years. Most notably, there are ongoing violations related to bedbug reporting requirements under Housing Maintenance Code § HMC, with open violations recorded in 2024, 2023, 2022, and 2021 - indicating a pattern of non-compliance with mandatory annual bedbug reports.

The property has faced significant rodent infestation issues, with multiple inspections conducted between 2022 and 2025 revealing consistent rat activity. The most recent inspections between May and July 2025 document confirmed rat activity, with extermination measures implemented through bait applications in the building. Specifically, records show rat activity in May 2025, followed by bait application treatments in July 2025, with similar enforcement actions documented previously in 2024 (March and July) and 2023 (March).

The frequency and persistence of rodent activity, combined with the ongoing bedbug reporting violations, suggest substantial challenges in maintaining bedbug control and pest management protocols. The building's age and converted status from Class A to "Hereafter Converted Class A" may indicate some modifications from its original construction purpose, typical of many NYC buildings. However, the available data primarily highlights pressing concerns regarding pest control compliance and the need for continual extermination interventions, rather than structural or maintenance issues with the building itself.
