2854 East 196th Street, Bronx, NY 10461

2854 East 196th Street is a two-story, four-unit residential building located in Pelham Bay, Bronx, and owned by Paul Sciara. Built in 1928 as a New Law Tenement, the building has undergone several required inspections and reporting obligations over the past few years.

The property has had a consistent pattern of bedbug-related violations from 2021 through 2024, with each year receiving an official violation for failing to submit the annual bedbug report as mandated by the Housing Maintenance Code. However, these violations appear somewhat procedural in nature, as subsequent filings show no recorded bedbug infestations in any of the units.

The most recent bedbug report for the period ending October 2024, filed in February 2025, along with previous reports for 2023, 2024, and 2022, consistently indicate zero infested units, zero units requiring eradication, and zero re-infestation cases. Additionally, the building has demonstrated good maintenance practices in other areas, with all rodent inspections since 2019, including a passed initial inspection in April 2019, showing no significant pest issues. While the bedbug reporting violations raise compliance concerns, the absence of actual infestations according to official reports suggests effective management of this particular issue, though the pattern of violations warrants attention to the building's administrative record-keeping practices.
