1457 Leland Avenue, Bronx, NY 10460

The two-story, four-unit residential building at 1457 Leland Avenue in Parkchester, owned by Lubelia Orlando and constructed in 1924, has a significant history of pest-related issues spanning multiple years. Most notably, between March and June 2020, there were multiple documented complaints regarding both pests and mold, resulting in at least one set of violations being issued by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD). These complaints were part of a larger pattern, as similar issues were reported in late 2019, including both pest infestations and mold problems.

The building has maintained consistent bedbug reporting compliance since 2020, with all reports showing zero infested units, indicating effective management of this particular issue. More recently, in 2024, two Class C violations were issued specifically concerning mice and roach infestations in apartment 1R, though records show successful rodent inspections with "Passed" results in 2022 and 2018, suggesting improvements in pest management. The property's regulatory history shows a combination of inspections and violations primarily focused on pest-related concerns.

Between 2020 and 2024, the building received multiple Class A violations for failing to file annual bedbug reports, though these have since been resolved. Historical records indicate a troubling pattern of rodent activity in the period from 2012 to 2016, with several inspections showing rat activity, though recent inspections have shown significant improvement. The most recent bedbug report filing in 2025 confirms no current infestations, following a similar pattern of successful eradication in previous years. While the building has faced persistent pest management challenges over the years, the current absence of reported infestations and successful recent inspections suggest improved conditions, though residents should be aware of the building's historical pest-related issues.
