1303 Harrod Avenue, Bronx, NY 10472

The three-unit, three-story brick building at 1303 Harrod Avenue in Parkchester, owned by Sandra Allen, has been continuously monitored since its construction in 2004. The most significant and persistent issue affecting the building has been related to bedbug reporting compliance, with the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) issuing four consecutive violations between 2021 and 2024.

These violations, all classified as Class A, pertain to the building's failure to file its annual bedbug report as required under Housing Maintenance Code § HMC. The building has maintained a clean record in terms of rodent inspections, passing all six inspections conducted between 2010 and 2018, with the most recent inspection in August 2018 showing no violations.

While the open bedbug reporting violations are noteworthy and suggest a pattern of non-compliance with HPD regulations, it's important to note that these violations specifically relate to documentation requirements rather than indicating an active bedbug infestation in the building. The property's relatively new construction date (2004) and consistent rodent-free record over eight years of inspections (2010-2018) suggest the building has maintained basic structural and sanitation standards. The repeated nature of the bedbug report violations, occurring annually since 2021, indicates a persistent oversight in meeting this specific regulatory requirement, which has continued into 2025.
