1251 Beach Avenue, Bronx, NY 10472

The three-story, three-unit residential building at 1251 Beach Avenue in Soundview, owned by Iris Hernandez, has been under regular scrutiny for bedbug reporting compliance over the past several years. Most notably, there are currently two open violations from 2023 and 2024 related to the failure to file required annual bedbug reports with the NYC Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD), despite having previously closed similar violations in 2021 and 2022.

The building's bedbug reporting history shows that for the period from November 1, 2020, to October 31, 2021, there were no confirmed infestations in any units. The property has maintained a clean record regarding rodent infestations, having passed all initial inspections in 2010, 2014, and 2017.

The building, constructed in 1920, is classified as a HERETOFORE CONVERTED CLASS A property, and while it has experienced recurring issues with bedbug report compliance, there is no evidence of actual bedbug infestations in recent years. The most pressing current concern for the building is the pattern of noncompliance with bedbug reporting requirements, as evidenced by the open violations in 2023 and 2024, which suggests ongoing challenges with meeting HPD reporting expectations. However, it's worth noting that the presence of open violations does not necessarily indicate active pest problems, as these are administrative compliance issues rather than indications of current infestation problems.
