521 East 234th Street, Bronx, NY 10470

The two-story, three-unit residential building at 521 East 234th Street in Woodlawn, owned by Patrick Heffernan, has been subject to regular oversight and inspections since 2020. While the property maintained compliance with health regulations, as evidenced by passing both rodent inspections in 2020 and 2023, there has been a recurring issue with the submission of required annual bedbug reports, resulting in four consecutive Housing Maintenance Code violations from 2021 through 2024 for non-compliance with § HMC requirements.

These violations, while classified as "Class A," which typically indicates less severe issues compared to Class B or C violations, represent an ongoing administrative oversight rather than direct safety concerns. The building's health and safety record shows some environmental challenges, including a reported rat sighting in 2020 that prompted a Department of Health and Mental Hygiene inspection, though this investigation found no violations.

All rodent-related inspections have resulted in passing grades, suggesting effective pest control measures when issues are identified. The property maintains the building classification of "HERETOFORE CONVERTED CLASS A," indicating its historical conversion status, and has adhered to most other housing regulations, with the bedbug report compliance issue being the primary area of concern over the past four years.
