1503 East 172nd Street, Bronx, NY 10472

The two-story, four-unit residential building at 1503 East 172nd Street in Parkchester, owned by Sumintra Heralall, has been subject to recurring regulatory scrutiny over the past several years.

Most notably, there is an ongoing Housing Maintenance Code (HMC) violation as of April 2024 regarding the failure to file the required annual bedbug report, a situation that mirrors previous violations from 2023, 2022, and 2021, though records indicate no actual bedbug infestations occurred during the reporting period of November 2021 to October 2022, with zero infested or re-infested units. The building's rodent inspection history from 2011 through 2018 shows generally favorable results, with eight passed inspections and only two failures for "Other Reasons" - one in February 2012 and another in September 2018, suggesting minimal persistent pest control issues.

While the building's age (constructed in 1924) and status as a New Law Tenement are notable, the most pressing current compliance issue appears to be the open bedbug reporting violation, which has persisted despite previous years' violations being closed through the issuance of new notices. The recent pattern of bedbug report violations, which began in 2021 and continues into 2024, indicates an ongoing administrative compliance issue rather than a direct health or safety concern regarding active infestations, as evidenced by the absence of documented pest problems in the official bedbug reporting.
