1253 Bronx River Avenue, Bronx, NY 10472

The two-story, four-unit residential building at 1253 Bronx River Avenue, owned by Shahnaz Chaudhry and constructed in 1925, has had relatively few concerning issues over its recent history. Most notably, there was a Housing Maintenance Code (HMC) violation in April 2021 regarding the late filing of the annual bedbug report, though this violation was subsequently closed.

Since then, the building has consistently maintained a clean record regarding bedbug infestations, with all six subsequent bedbug reports (through December 2024) showing zero cases of infestation, eradication, or re-infestation in any dwelling units. The building's rodent inspection history shows a mix of results, with five inspections conducted between 2013 and 2018.

While the 2018 September inspection passed, there were failures recorded in July 2018 and July 2017 for "Other Reasons." The building received passing grades in both 2016 and 2013 inspections, suggesting improved rodent management in recent years. Overall, the most significant recent improvements are the building's successful management of bedbug reporting requirements and the complete absence of reported bedbug infestations since the April 2021 violation, though the rodent inspection failures in 2017 and 2018 warrant some note regarding past pest management challenges.
