1317 Bronx River Avenue, Bronx, NY 10472

The two-story, four-unit building at 1317 Bronx River Avenue, owned by Pooran Persad and constructed in 1927, has experienced several notable events over recent years. Most recently, in August 2023, there was a complaint about bees or wasps that remains in progress as of July 2025.

In February 2019, there was a heat and hot water complaint that was closed due to HPD's inability to gain access for inspection. The building has been subjected to recurring Bedbug Reporting violations from 2021 through 2024, with a consistent requirement to file annual reports, though recent filings show no infested or eradicated units between 2022-2024. The property has maintained a good record regarding rodent control, passing multiple inspections from 2016 through 2019.

However, in 2021, there was an Environmental Control Board violation related to improper drainage that resulted in roof water runoff issues, though this appears to have been resolved without a penalty. Several safety and compliance notices were issued in 2018 regarding the need to post information about carbon monoxide detectors, smoke detectors, gas leak procedures, and housing information guides, all of which were certified as addressed by August 2018. While the building has faced various compliance requirements over the years, including maintenance of bedbug and safety reporting, recent records show proper filing of bedbug reports with no current infestations, and no major safety violations recorded in the past few years.
