1836 Victor Street, Bronx, NY 10462

The two-family house at 1836 Victor Street in Van Nest, owned by David Refoua, has experienced persistent rodent-related issues between 2019 and 2022, with multiple rat sightings and inspection responses from the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene (DOHMH). During 2019, there were at least eight documented rodent sightings between April and December, with four consecutive reports in December alone.

The building underwent several rodent inspections and treatment efforts during this period, with bait application occurring on multiple occasions (July, August, September, and October 2019), and initial inspections in September and December 2019 revealing rat activity. The property received failed compliance inspections in September 2019 and February 2020 for "Other Reasons." Following this period of active rodent management, there was a measurable improvement in conditions.

The building underwent bait treatment in January 2020, after which there appears to be a notable decrease in complaints. The most recent inspection on December 20, 2022, marked a significant improvement, as it resulted in a "Passed" rating, suggesting successful remediation of the rodent issues. The earlier consistent pattern of complaints and necessary interventions between 2019-2020 indicates a previous significant concern regarding rodent presence, though the most recent inspection results are promising in terms of current conditions.
