1343 Croes Avenue, Bronx, NY 10472

The two-story, three-unit building at 1343 Croes Avenue in Parkchester, owned by Md Mazumder, has a significant history of pest-related issues, particularly during 2019-2020. Between June 2019 and February 2020, there were multiple emergency complaints regarding unsanitary conditions and pests, with at least three instances resulting in violations. In February 2020, the building received several notable violations, including a bedbug infestation in Apartment 1 that required abatement, and issues related to fire egress, gas leak procedures, carbon monoxide detection requirements, and required building postings.

A concerning incident occurred during this period involving defective fire egress, where obstructing bars or unlawful gates were present at one window, though this was later corrected. Since 2020, the building's pest management has improved significantly. The bedbug reporting records from 2021 onwards consistently show zero infested, eradicated, or re-infested dwelling units, indicating successful pest management.

Additionally, more recent inspections have shown positive results: the most recent inspection in May 2023 passed, and previous rodent inspections dating back to 2010 also passed, suggesting improved overall building maintenance. Notably, between 2020 and 2025, there have been no new violations or significant complaints regarding unsanitary conditions or pest issues, and the building has consistently filed annual bedbug reports as required by HPD. The building underwent multiple inspections between 2021-2024, all of which appear to have been resolved, indicating better compliance with housing maintenance codes in recent years.
