1139 White Plains Road, Bronx, NY 10472

The two-story, four-unit building at 1139 White Plains Road in Soundview, owned by Louis Torres, has a documented history dating back to its 1926 construction. The property has maintained a consistent record of compliance regarding both bedbug and rodent inspections over the past several years.

Between 2021 and 2024, the building was required to submit annual bedbug reports, though violations were issued for failing to file these reports in 2022, 2023, and 2024 - violations which have since been closed. Notably, all four annual bedbug reports submitted between 2021 and 2024 (with the most recent filing in May 2024 covering the period from November 2022 to October 2023) indicated zero infested units, zero eradicated units, and zero re-infested units, suggesting effective pest management despite the reporting violations. The building has undergone regular health and safety inspections, with particular attention to rodent infestations.

The property passed rodent inspections in 2010, 2014, and 2017, demonstrating a long-standing commitment to maintaining sanitary conditions. While the building's age and size make it typical of many older NYC tenements, the recent bedbug reporting violations and historical requirement for annual bedbug report compliance are noteworthy, though they appear to be procedural rather than indicative of active infestations. The most recent bedbug report submission in May 2024 indicates the building's current management has resumed compliance with HPD reporting requirements, and the absence of reported infestations across all four annual reporting periods is a positive indicator of the building's current pest management status.
