1048 Manor Avenue, Bronx, NY 10472

The two-story, three-unit building at 1048 Manor Avenue in Soundview, owned by Ramnauth Persaud, has a complex history dating back to its 1930 construction as a New Law Tenement. The property experienced a significant fire incident in January 2019 that affected the entire 2nd-floor apartment (2F), resulting in a class C violation that required remediation of the fire damage.

Between 2019 and 2022, the building faced multiple violations related to safety and maintenance requirements, including failures to post required notices about carbon monoxide detection, gas leak procedures, and housing information guides. Three consecutive annual violations (2020-2022) were issued for not filing the required bedbug reports, though subsequent filings from 2022 through 2024 indicate no reported infestations during those periods. The building's recent inspection history shows some concerning patterns: there were rodent activity issues noted in both March and June 2023 inspections, though these were resolved by April 2024 and the most recent inspection in April 2025 passed.

There was also an illegal conversion complaint filed in January 2021, though the inspector was unable to gain access during two attempts. The property has maintained an up-to-date bedbug reporting record since 2021, showing no infestations, and regular rodent inspections have occurred, with improvements noted in recent years. While many historical violations have been addressed, the building's recent history shows periodic challenges with maintaining required safety notices and responding to pest control issues.
