3146 Westchester Avenue, Bronx, NY 10461

The property at 3146 Westchester Avenue in Pelham Bay, owned by Mordechai Szoffer, is a 2-story, 3-unit building constructed in 2005. The building has experienced recurring issues with bedbug report compliance, as evidenced by four consecutive Housing Maintenance Code violations from 2021 to 2024, all related to the failure to file the required annual bedbug reports with the HPD.

These violations remain open as of the most recent inspection in April 2024. The building's pest control history shows a pattern of rodent-related concerns, with the most recent 311 complaint in May 2020 reporting signs of rodents, though this was investigated and did not result in any violations.

The rodent inspection records indicate mixed results, with two failed inspections in 2019 (April and July), though an initial inspection in June 2020 passed. While the building is relatively new (built in 2005), the recurring bedbug report violation suggests ongoing management challenges regarding compliance with housing maintenance requirements, though this is a documentation issue rather than a direct indication of infestation. The property has received various inspections and investigations by the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene, with inspections in 2019, 2020, and 2022 noting various rodent-related matters, though the specific nature of the "Other Reasons" for failure in 2019 is not detailed in the available records.
