1523 Lurting Avenue, Bronx, NY 10461

The three-unit, three-story building at 1523 Lurting Avenue in Westchester Square, owned by Ipou Affi, has been standing since 1910 and is classified as a traditionally converted Class A building. The most pressing and consistent issue in the building's recent history centers around bedbug reporting compliance, with the property accumulating four consecutive Housing Maintenance Code violations between 2021 and 2024 related to the failure to file annual bedbug reports as required by HPD rules.

While these violations have remained open and unresolved as of the most recent inspection in April 2024, it's worth noting that the building successfully passed a rodent inspection in January 2023, indicating some level of maintenance compliance in other areas. Looking to the present and future, there is a positive development with the recent issuance of a work permit in June 2025 for exterior work (job number 240362950), which suggests the owner is undertaking improvements to the property.

However, the persistent bedbug reporting violations over the past four years indicate a concerning pattern of non-compliance with housing maintenance requirements, though this does not necessarily correlate directly with current pest conditions. The building's documented history shows no other significant violations or safety concerns on record, with the most recent permit issuance representing the most current relevant building activity.
