1924 Pilgrim Avenue, Bronx, NY 10461

The three-unit residential building at 1924 Pilgrim Avenue in Pelham Bay, owned by Carole Ellis, has been in operation since 1925 and is classified as a Heretofore Converted Class A property. The building's most pressing current concern involves a recurring violation of the Housing Maintenance Code (HMC) related to bedbug reporting requirements, with open violations noted in each of the past four years from 2021 through 2024.

Specifically, these violations pertain to the failure to file the required annual bedbug reports with the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD), as mandated by the agency's regulations. Prior to these ongoing violations, the building underwent a rodent inspection in April 2019, which resulted in a passing grade, indicating that there were no significant rodent-related issues at that time.

The consistent pattern of open bedbug reporting violations over multiple years, all of which remain unresolved as of the most recent inspection in April 2024, suggests an ongoing compliance issue with HPD requirements, though it's worth noting that these violations specifically pertain to reporting rather than confirmed infestations. The building's relatively clean record in other areas, including passing the 2019 rodent inspection, shows that while there are compliance issues with bedbug reporting, there have been no documented issues of actual bedbug infestations cited in the available records.
