1312 Purdy Street, Bronx, NY 10462

The two-story, three-unit residential building at 1312 Purdy Street in Parkchester, owned by Victor Rivera, has a documented history of bedbug-related issues over the past several years. The property, which received Class A classification under the Housing Maintenance Code (HMC), has been subject to recurring violations related to the failure to file mandatory annual bedbug reports between 2021 and 2023.

Most recently, in February 2024, the building reported bedbug activity during the filing period from November 2022 to October 2023, noting that two dwelling units were infested, though both were subsequently eradicated. Interestingly, the report also indicated that these same two units experienced re-infestation, suggesting possible challenges with the effectiveness of eradication efforts.

The building's only other documented inspection was a rodent inspection in February 2012, which resulted in a passing grade. The property's age (built in 1920) and relatively recent history of pest control issues, while not uncommon in older buildings, warrant attention to ongoing maintenance and reporting compliance. The pattern of bedbug violations shows a consistent failure to meet reporting requirements under HMC regulations, though these violations have all been marked as closed, indicating resolution of the specific incidents.
