1935 Haviland Avenue, Bronx, NY 10472

The six-unit, two-story New Law Tenement building at 1935 Haviland Avenue in Unionport, owned by Luis Galan, has been standing since 1929 and has recorded several significant events in recent years. Of particular concern are the two open Housing Maintenance Code violations regarding the failure to file annual bedbug reports, with citations issued in both March 2023 and April 2024.

Additionally, there was a specific violation in June 2022 related to broken plaster and paint issues in the ceiling of Apartment 1R, though this issue was marked as closed. The building has experienced at least one rodent-related incident, with a complaint in August 2022 regarding a rat sighting, though this was investigated by the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene and resulted in a passing inspection with no violations found.

Despite the recent bedbug reporting violations, it's worth noting that the building has maintained a consistent record of passing rodent inspections over the past decade, with inspections conducted in 2010, 2013, 2014, 2016, and most recently in 2022 all showing passing results. The property has an established pattern of timely addressing maintenance issues when violations are identified, though the recurring bedbug reporting violations suggest an ongoing administrative oversight. The presence of multiple annual bedbug report violations between 2021 and 2024 indicates that while the building may have experienced bedbug issues in the past, these are now primarily an administrative compliance matter rather than an active infestation concern, as evidenced by the lack of any violations related to actual bedbug presence in recent years.
