1042 Ward Avenue, Bronx, NY 10472
1042 Ward Avenue is a two-story, three-unit New Law tenement building located in the Soundview neighborhood, owned by Althea Chase and constructed in 1915. The property has a concerning pattern of housing maintenance code violations related to bedbug reporting, with four consecutive open violations dating from 2021 through 2024, all citing failure to file the mandatory annual bedbug report as required by HPD rules.
These violations remain unresolved as of the most recent inspection in April 2024. The building has experienced ongoing rodent issues over the past two years, with the most recent rodent inspection in June 2025 passing, though notable rat activity and the application of bait were documented in multiple inspections between 2023 and 2025.
The inspection records show a mix of results, including three instances of rat activity in 2023 (most recently in May 2023), two cases of bait application in late 2023, and several compliance passes in 2024 and 2025. The most recent rodent inspection in June 2025 indicates improvement in pest management, representing the first successful rodent compliance since early 2024.
