1864 White Plains Road, Bronx, NY 10462

The 4-unit, 3-story residential building at 1864 White Plains Road in the Van Nest neighborhood, owned by Wadah Abdulkader, has experienced recurring pest control challenges over the past several years, particularly with rodent activity. Most notably, there have been multiple documented instances of rat activity in 2021 (8 occurrences), 2022 (4 occurrences), and through 2023, with the most recent inspection in February 2023 passing compliance.

The building has also faced significant maintenance issues, including persistent heating problems - with emergency complaints in October 2018 regarding inadequate heat in Apartment 2 - and multiple Housing Maintenance Code violations related to safety requirements, such as carbon monoxide detector postings and gas leak procedures. An alarming pattern of unsanitary conditions has been documented, particularly in 2020-2021, with multiple complaints about garbage/recycling storage issues. The property has shown some recent compliance with rodent control measures, as indicated by the passing inspection in February 2023, though there remain open violations regarding the annual bedbug report filing requirements.

Earlier violations from 2018 included problems with mold, water leaks, and heating system access, though many of these have since been addressed. The building has undergone at least two permit issuances in late 2018, though the specific nature of the permitted work is not detailed in the available records. While the property has demonstrated some progress in addressing various maintenance issues, the frequency of pest control interventions and historical maintenance challenges suggest that ongoing vigilance regarding building conditions is necessary.
