640 Mead Street, Bronx, NY 10460

The property at 640 Mead Street in the Van Nest neighborhood is a one-story, three-unit building constructed in 1920 and currently owned by Luther R. Munoz Jr.

The building has a concerning pattern of open Housing Maintenance Code violations related to bedbug reporting requirements, with documented violations in each of the past four years from 2021 to 2024. These violations indicate that the property has failed to submit the required annual bedbug reports to the Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) department, as mandated under the Housing Maintenance Code. While the building has passed a rodent inspection conducted in December 2022, the persistent bedbug reporting violations raise notable concerns about the building's compliance with mandatory health and safety reporting requirements.

On a more positive note, the property underwent some permitted work in 2021, with an exterior work permit issued on May 27, 2021, under job number 240304826. While the specific nature of this work is not detailed in the provided data, the issuance of this permit indicates that at least some maintenance and improvements are being attended to. However, the repeated bedbug reporting violations remain the most significant ongoing compliance issue, with the most recent violation reported in April 2024 still showing as open in the records.
