2402 Buck Street, Bronx, NY 10461

The three-unit, three-story residential building at 2402 Buck Street in Westchester Square, owned by Jose Diaz, has been subject to recurring regulatory scrutiny over recent years, particularly concerning its compliance with housing maintenance codes. Most notably, the building has accumulated four consecutive Housing Maintenance Code violations from 2021 through 2024, all pertaining to the failure to file the required annual bedbug reports as mandated by HPD rules.

These open violations, with inspection dates spanning from April 2021 to April 2024, suggest an ongoing non-compliance issue with this particular requirement, though it is worth noting that the bedbug-related violations represent a procedural compliance issue rather than a direct safety or habitability concern. On a somewhat more positive note, the building successfully passed an initial rodent inspection conducted in April 2019, indicating that at that time, there were no rodent-related concerns.

The building, constructed in 1987, is classified as a Class A building in the HEREAFTER ERECTED category, and while the documented violations represent significant regulatory attention, they appear to be primarily focused on administrative compliance rather than structural or safety issues. The persistence of bedbug report violation notices over a four-year period suggests this regulatory requirement has not been reliably addressed, though the current status of these violations as of the most recent inspection in April 2024 remains open without a certified correction date.
