1005 Ward Avenue, Bronx, NY 10472

The three-unit residential building at 1005 Ward Avenue in Soundview, owned by Luis Reynoso and constructed in 2005, has experienced several notable maintenance and compliance issues over recent years. Most significantly, the building has ongoing violations related to the failure to file annual bedbug reports as required under the Housing Maintenance Code, with open violations documented in inspections from 2021 through 2024.

A pest-related complaint was filed with HPD in December 2021, though no violations were issued following the inspection. The property has maintained a consistent record of passing rodent inspections, with ten consecutive successful inspections between 2018 and 2025, suggesting effective pest management in this area. The building has experienced some administrative issues, including a smoking violation reported to DOHMH in 2019 that was subsequently addressed, and two Department of Buildings complaints in 2019 and 2021 regarding posted notices or orders.

While both of these complaints were ultimately determined to warrant no violations at the time of inspection, they indicate periods when tenant compliance matters required official attention. On a more positive note, a permit for work identified as "EW" was issued in October 2021, though the specific nature of the work is not detailed in the available records. The building's age (20 years as of 2025) and its relatively small size (three units) suggest that while there have been compliance challenges, particularly regarding bedbug reporting requirements, the overall maintenance record shows regular attention to regulatory requirements, particularly in terms of ensuring pest control standards are met.
