1153 Beach Avenue, Bronx, NY 10472

The two-story, three-unit building at 1153 Beach Avenue in Soundview, owned by Vilma Cerdena, has been standing since 1910 and presents a mixed picture of conditions over the past several years. Most notably, the building has consistent open violations related to annual bedbug report filings under NYC Housing Maintenance Code from 2021 through 2024, indicating a potential lapse in compliance with required pest management procedures.

During May 2019, the property experienced multiple maintenance issues including reports of water leaks (heavy flow), ceiling paint/plaster problems, cabinet concerns, and unsanitary conditions related to pests, though inspections by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) found no violations in these instances. The building's historical records show some infrastructure challenges, with an appliance-related complaint regarding a refrigerator in August 2018 that could not be inspected.

Noteworthy is the property's clean rodent inspection history, having passed inspections in 2010, 2013, and 2017. While the building's maintenance history shows periods of attention to various issues, the recurring nature of the bedbug report violations over the past four years stands out as the most significant ongoing compliance issue, though it's worth noting this does not directly indicate active pest problems, just a documentation requirement. The last recorded violation for this requirement was issued in April 2024, and as of October 2023, other recent complaints or violations have not been documented.
