1715 St Peters Avenue, Bronx, NY 10461

The two-story, four-unit residential building at 1715 St. Peters Avenue in Westchester Square, currently owned by Mohammed Ali, has been facing recurring administrative issues over the past several years, with a particularly concerning pattern emerging around bedbug reporting compliance.

Since 2021, the building has received four consecutive Housing Maintenance Code violations (2021-2024) related to the failure to file mandatory annual bedbug reports with the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD), with the most recent violation issued in April 2024 still remaining open. These ongoing violations suggest a persistent pattern of non-compliance with essential health and safety reporting requirements. On a more positive note, the building has maintained good standing in terms of pest control, with successful rodent inspections passed in 2013 (two separate inspections) and 2019.

This suggests that while there may be administrative compliance issues, the building has not experienced significant rodent problems in recent years. The property, constructed in 1926, is classified as a New Law Tenement, which typically indicates it was built before the 1938 housing laws and is subject to specific rent regulation and maintenance requirements. The consistent nature of the bedbug reporting violations over multiple years raises concerns about the building's attention to regulatory compliance, though it's worth noting that these violations appear to be administrative in nature rather than directly related to active pest infestations.
