1393 Bronx River Avenue, Bronx, NY 10472

The two-story, four-unit residential building at 1393 Bronx River Avenue, owned by Ramon Alvarez and located in the East Morrisania neighborhood, has been under consistent monitoring since 2014. Built in 1927 and classified as a New Law Tenement, this property has shown a concerning pattern of non-compliance with the Housing Maintenance Code's bedbug reporting requirements.

Between 2021 and 2024, the building received four separate class A violations for failing to file annual bedbug reports as mandated, with the most recent violation recorded in April 2024 still remaining open. This persistent issue over multiple years is particularly noteworthy given the building's age and the potential impact on resident comfort and safety. In contrast, the building has maintained a strong record regarding rodent inspections, passing all eight inspections between 2014 and 2019.

The most recent rodent inspection on December 2, 2019, confirmed compliance with health standards. While the rodent control record is commendable, the unresolved bedbug reporting violations represent the building's most significant current maintenance challenge, with no apparent patterns of resolution or remediation following the issuance of these violations. The persistent nature of these violations over multiple years suggests ongoing challenges in meeting this particular housing maintenance requirement, which is independently verified through multiple annual inspections.
