1833 Hunt Avenue, Bronx, NY 10462

The two-story, three-unit residential building at 1833 Hunt Avenue in Van Nest, owned by Mariamma Varchese and constructed in 1910, has a concerning record of ongoing regulatory compliance issues over the past several years. Most notably, the property has accumulated four consecutive open Housing Maintenance Code violations from 2021 through 2024, all related to the failure to file required annual bedbug reports as mandated by HPD rules.

While the presence of bedbugs has not been directly indicated through inspections, these repeated violations suggest persistent oversight in maintaining proper pest management protocols. The building's rodent inspection history shows a mixed record, with rat activity noted in December 2022 during an initial inspection, though a subsequent compliance inspection in February 2023 resulted in a passing grade.

Additionally, there was an Environmental Control Board violation in March 2018 concerning non-compliance with a commissioner's order and failure to file a required certificate of correction, though this particular violation has been resolved with no penalties due. Given the building's age and the documented history of pest management compliance issues, the property appears to be experiencing ongoing challenges with meeting city housing maintenance requirements, particularly in relation to reporting obligations despite no direct indications of active infestations. The most recent violations, dated 2023 and 2024, carry the most weight in terms of current resident impact, though the specific nature of the violations relates primarily to reporting requirements rather than immediate health or safety concerns.
