1321 Croes Avenue, Bronx, NY 10472

1321 Croes Avenue is a two-story, three-unit residential building in the Parkchester neighborhood, constructed in 1920 and currently owned by Ruben Rivera. The property has experienced recurring bedbug reporting violations over the past four years, with Housing Maintenance Code (HMC) violations recorded in 2021, 2022, 2023, and 2024, all related to the failure to file annual bedbug reports as required by HPD rules.

However, the most recent bedbug report filed on February 5, 2025, covering the period from November 2023 to October 2024, shows no infested dwelling units, though it notes that three units were previously treated and eradicated. This suggests substantial progress in bedbug management, though the pattern of reporting violations raises concerns about compliance with health and safety requirements.

The building has demonstrated consistently good pest control management with respect to rodents, passing all inspections from 2010 through 2023, including a recent inspection on May 31, 2023. The property has maintained its "HEREAFTER CONVERTED CLASS A" designation, indicating its current classification as an entire building rather than a multiple dwelling. While the bedbug reporting violations represent the most significant health and safety concern in recent years, the successful rodent management record and the most recent bedbug report showing no current infestations indicate some improvement in overall pest control measures.
