2887 Roberts Avenue, Bronx, NY 10461

The three-story residential building at 2887 Roberts Avenue in Pelham Bay, owned by Zengyu Lin, has a documented history of maintenance issues primarily between 2021 and 2022, when the property experienced both pest infestations and significant maintenance problems. In December 2021, complaints were filed regarding unsanitary conditions and wall maintenance, leading to Housing Maintenance Code violations covering both pest control and necessary paint/plaster repairs. These violations affected Apartment B1, the building's first-floor unit, and included specific issues with ceilings in the hallway, bathroom, and rooms, along with a mouse infestation that required remediation under New York City's Administrative Code. More recently, the building's condition appears to have stabilized.

As of July 2025, there are no active complaints or reported infestations. The property has successfully filed its bedbug reports for 2023-2024 and 2022-2023, showing zero infested or re-infested units in the most recent reporting period. Rodent inspections conducted in 2023 and 2019 both passed, indicating improved pest management. While there were two illegal conversion complaints in 2019 and 2023, inspectors were unable to gain access to the property to conduct these inspections.

It's worth noting that multiple bedbug violation notices were issued between 2022 and 2024, though the most recent filings show no infestation issues. The building's maintenance history suggests a significant concentration of issues in late 2021 and 2022, particularly concerning pest control and interior maintenance, with violations remaining open for some time before being addressed. However, the absence of recent violations or complaints since 2022 indicates an improvement in overall building conditions. The property has fulfilled its bedbug reporting requirements since 2023 and successfully passed rodent inspections, demonstrating compliance with key health and safety regulations.
