1931 Benedict Avenue, Bronx, NY 10462

The two-story, three-unit residential building at 1931 Benedict Avenue in Parkchester, owned by Maxine Sullivan, has experienced several notable maintenance issues over the past several years. Most significantly, the building currently has four open Housing Maintenance Code violations (2021-2024) related to the failure to file required annual bedbug reports with the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD), which suggests ongoing concerns about proper pest management procedures.

The building experienced rodent activity according to a December 2022 inspection, though a subsequent compliance inspection in February 2023 showed passing results, indicating that this issue may have been addressed. Additionally, there was a complaint in December 2022 regarding unsanitary pigeon conditions and waste that was forwarded to another agency by the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene. The building's maintenance history shows a pattern of open violations requiring attention, particularly regarding pest management documentation.

While some inspections have resulted in passing ratings, such as the 2023 rodent inspection, the persistent nature of the bedbug report violations suggests ongoing compliance challenges. The property, constructed in 1901, qualifies as a "HERETOFORE CONVERTED CLASS A" building, indicating it was previously converted to multi-family use but retains its original classification elements. The most current records available through April 2024 show that several code violations remain unresolved, though there have been some improvements noted through subsequent inspections.
