1589 Hone Avenue, Bronx, NY 10461

The three-unit, 2-story residential building at 1589 Hone Avenue in Morris Park, owned by Louise Amore and constructed in 1915, has experienced several notable issues in recent years that warrant attention. Most significantly, there has been a recurring pattern of bedbug-related violations, with the building receiving four consecutive Housing Maintenance Code violations between 2021 and 2024 for failing to file annual bedbug reports as required by HPD regulations.

While these violations were eventually closed, they suggest initial compliance challenges with pest management requirements. However, the most recent bedbug report filed in May 2025 indicates no infested dwelling units, with counts of eradicated and re-infested units also recorded as zero for the 2023-2024 filing period, suggesting successful resolution of this particular pest issue. The building has also faced rodent-related challenges, with three inspections conducted in 2023 revealing rat activity during initial and compliance inspections in January and March, respectively.

Notably, bait was applied as a remedial measure during a June 2023 inspection, indicating active attempts to address the rodent problem. The repeated nature of these rodent issues, occurring over multiple months and requiring bait application, suggests an ongoing pest management challenge. While the most recent bedbug reporting indicates successful eradication, the historical pattern of violations and pest activity suggests that maintaining a pest-free environment has been a significant focus for this property in recent years.
