1249 Ward Avenue, Bronx, NY 10472

1249 Ward Avenue is a two-story, converted Class B residential building in Parkchester, constructed in 1925 and currently owned by Suzanne Rodriguez. The property has several open violations that require attention, most notably a recurring issue regarding annual bedbug report filings, with violations documented in 2021, 2022, 2023, and most recently in 2024.

There are also multiple active Department of Buildings (DOB) violations related to the failure to file external low-pressure inspections for the years 2018-2023, all recorded in June 2023 and September 2024. Additionally, an Environmental Control Board violation from 2019 regarding an unregistered Dunkirk boiler in the basement remains active, with an associated penalty of $625. Despite these violations, the building has consistently passed rodent inspections conducted between 2016 and 2025, suggesting good overall sanitation conditions.

The property's records show two permits issued in May 2019 for plumbing and electrical work (job number 220682642), indicating some maintenance activity during that period. A boiler-related complaint from August 2019 was resolved with an Oath Violation Served disposition. While the building's basic safety and sanitation metrics appear stable with regular rodent inspection compliance, the pattern of missed annual filings and outstanding violations, particularly concerning bedbug reporting and pressure inspection requirements, is noteworthy.
