1701 East 174th Street, Bronx, NY 10472

The three-unit residential building at 1701 East 174th Street in Parkchester, owned by Alfredo Quinones, has experienced several significant maintenance issues over the past several years. Most notably, there are persistent bedbug reporting violations from 2021 to 2024, with open citations indicating the building has failed to file required annual bedbug reports as mandated by Housing Maintenance Code.

The property has also faced lighting safety concerns, with an open violation from 2018 regarding inadequate lighting at the front entranceway that has not been addressed, despite being classified as a more serious Class B issue at the time. The building's recent pest management history shows a notable cycle of rodent activity between 2020 and 2021, with multiple bait applications recorded throughout 2020, suggesting an ongoing rodent infestation problem.

While there was a compliance inspection in December 2021 that passed, the building had shown evidence of rat activity in August 2021, indicating that rodent control measures were only temporarily effective. The most recent inspections in 2023 and 2024 continue to show open violations related to bedbug reporting requirements, which are particularly concerning given the building’s previous history with pest management issues. The 1927 two-story structure, despite its age as a New Law Tenement building, has faced ongoing challenges with both pest control compliance and basic building safety requirements that remain unaddressed as of the most recent inspection dates.
