1033 Elder Avenue, Bronx, NY 10472

The two-story residential building at 1033 Elder Avenue in Soundview, owned by Estela Hernandez, is a 5-unit New Law Tenement constructed in 1928. The property has a documented history of maintaining safety standards, though several issues have required attention over the years. Most recently, in April 2025, a complaint regarding work without a permit was investigated but access was not granted to the inspector.

In 2019, a significant safety concern emerged with a report of broken or missing window guards, though the Department of Housing Preservation and Development was unable to gain access for inspection. Between 2021 and 2024, the building received four consecutive violations related to the failure to file annual bedbug reports as required under section A of the Housing Maintenance Code. The building has undergone regular rodent inspections, with all inspections between 2018 and 2024 passing, except for one instance in March 2023 which noted rat activity.

Bedbug reporting between 2019-2022 indicated no infestations, with zero infested, eradicated, or re-infested units reported in both the 2021 and 2023 filings. The property has maintained a generally positive inspection record in terms of pest management, with no recorded rodent issues in recent years and all 311 service requests being processed, though some required re-filing due to access issues. The combination of open bedbug reporting violations, historical window guard issues, and a recent permit complaint suggests areas requiring continued monitoring, while the property's passing rodent inspections indicate effective pest control measures.
