979 Rhinelander Avenue, Bronx, NY 10462

The three-unit, two-story residential building at 979 Rhinelander Avenue in Morris Park, owned by William Thai, has been subject to several notable incidents and violations over the past few years. Most notably, the building has recurring violations regarding the failure to file annual bedbug reports as required by the Housing Maintenance Code, with open violations documented in every year from 2021 through 2024.

These ongoing violations suggest a pattern of non-compliance with reporting requirements, though it's important to note that these are administrative violations rather than directly related to active infestations. In mid-2022, there was a significant environmental concern regarding drainage systems, with a complaint filed about improper drainage that led to an inspection revealing an obstructed areaway drain at the rear of the property.

This resulted in an Environmental Control Board violation, though records indicate this was resolved without any penalty imposed. On a more positive note, a rodent inspection conducted in January 2023 resulted in a passing score, indicating no current rodent issues. While the building is relatively old (constructed in 1930), its class designation as "HERETOFORE CONVERTED CLASS A" and its current condition suggest it has maintained its basic residential status through the decades, though the pattern of bedbug report violations raises some concern about attention to regulatory compliance.
