1964 Cross Bronx Expwy, Bronx, NY 10472

This three-story, two-unit residential building located at 1964 Cross Bronx Expressway in Unionport was constructed in 1930 and is currently owned by Ahsan Shafi. The property has experienced recurring bedbug-related compliance issues over the past several years, with violations documented in 2021, 2022, and most recently in April 2024, all pertaining to the failure to file annual bedbug reports as required by Housing Maintenance Code.

However, the most recent bedbug report filed in July 2024 indicates significant progress, showing zero infested units, three units that required eradication efforts, and no instances of re-infestation during the reporting period from November 2022 to October 2023. The building has a concerning history of rodent activity, with multiple inspections revealing rat presence between 2016 and 2024.

Most recently, in 2024 alone, there have been at least three bait applications in response to rodent activity, including September 2023 and more recently in May and August 2024. The property's location near major thoroughfares may contribute to these ongoing pest control challenges. Despite the building's age and these maintenance issues, the owner's recent efforts to comply with bedbug reporting requirements and address rodent issues through regular bait application suggest an active approach to property maintenance, though these problems persistently recur.
