1323 Harrod Avenue, Bronx, NY 10472

1323 Harrod Avenue is a two-story, four-unit New Law Tenement building constructed in 1928, currently owned by Marie Topp and located in the Parkchester neighborhood. The building's maintenance record shows several significant events, most notably involving electrical and pest-related issues. In late 2022, there was an electrical outlet/switch problem that required HPD intervention, though this was resolved by March 2023.

The building experienced rat activity in August 2019, which was documented in a Department of Health and Mental Hygiene complaint, though no resolution was provided in the records. However, subsequent rodent inspections from 2019 to 2022 showed consistent compliance, with all inspections passing, except for the initial rat activity report. The property has undergone regular bedbug reporting as required by Housing Maintenance Code, with the most recent report in April 2024 covering the period from November 2022 to October 2023 showing no infested units, no eradicated units, and no re-infested units.

This follows a consistent pattern of zero infestation reports in previous years (2023, 2022, 2021, 2020), despite multiple Housing Maintenance Code violations being issued between 2021 and 2024 regarding the failure to file annual bedbug reports. These violations are now marked as closed, and the 2024 filing appears to be in compliance. The building has maintained a generally good record regarding pest control, with only one documented instance of rodent activity (2019) in contrast to multiple passing inspections throughout 2016-2020, suggesting effective management of such issues.
