1665 East 172nd Street, Bronx, NY 10472

The 4-unit, 2-story New Law Tenement building at 1665 East 172nd Street in Parkchester, owned by Chandramattie Rai and constructed in 1925, has shown consistent attention to pest management over the past several years. Most notably, while there have been four consecutive Housing Maintenance Code violations between 2021 and 2024 regarding the failure to file annual bedbug reports, recent filings indicate no reported bedbug infestations during the 2022-2023 and 2020-2021 reporting periods.

The building's rodent control history reveals a mix of challenges and improvements, with the most recent inspection in May 2023 passing without issue. This followed a concerning pattern in 2021, where both July and August inspections noted rat activity, though the earlier and later inspections in 2018, 2016, 2014, and 2012 all passed successfully, suggesting recent management improvements.

The building's records show regular attention to compliance requirements, with violations being addressed and closed, though the pattern of repeat citations for bedbug report non-filing merits attention. The property has consistently maintained its 4-unit configuration throughout its history, and while the age of the building (100+ years) is typical for the neighborhood, it appears to be generally well-managed in terms of pest control, with recent documentation supporting effective eradication practices.
