1608 Melville Street, Bronx, NY 10460

The three-unit, three-story building at 1608 Melville Street in the Van Nest neighborhood, owned by Carmen Lora, has generally maintained a good standing since its construction in 2003, with most recent records showing proper management of building issues. The building has passed all rodent inspections conducted in December 2022 and December 2023, including one recent inspection following a rat sighting complaint that was investigated by the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene, resulting in no violations and confirming the property had passed inspection.

A plumbing water supply emergency complaint was reported in July 2022 but was resolved within four days, with HPD validating the correction of the reported issue. Importantly, the building's bedbug reporting records from 2019 through December 2024 show a consistent pattern of zero infested or re-infested units, indicating effective pest management practices.

Of particular note, the most recent bedbug reports from December 2024, January 2024, and December 2022 have all confirmed no cases or infestations during the reporting periods. This track record of passing inspections and promptly addressing complaints, combined with the absence of recurring pest issues, suggests that while there have been isolated maintenance issues, the building has generally been well-maintained and managed.
