1728 Paulding Avenue, Bronx, NY 10462

1728 Paulding Avenue is a 2-story, 3-unit residential building located in the Morris Park neighborhood, owned by Funian Feng and constructed in 1935. The building's documented history reveals several significant events, with the most concerning being a heat and hot water outage reported in April 2022 that affected the entire building.

The Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) was unable to gain access for inspection, and this emergency complaint was ultimately closed. The building has experienced recurring issues with bedbug reporting compliance, receiving violations in 2021, 2022, and 2024 related to the failure to file annual bedbug reports as required under Housing Maintenance Code (HMC) guidelines. However, despite these violations, the owner has consistently reported zero actual bedbug infestations for the filing periods from 2019 through 2023.

The property underwent a rodent inspection in January 2023, which resulted in a passing grade, marking an improvement since failing inspections in 2014. A complaint regarding excessive debris was filed in February 2023 but resulted in no violations being warranted upon inspection. While the building's recent bedbug reports show compliance with the requirement to file, it's worth noting that the actual infestations and eradications have consistently been reported as zero since 2019, suggesting either effective management or potential over-reporting of compliance issues.
