3017 Barnes Avenue, Bronx, NY 10467

The six-unit, four-story residential building at 3017 Barnes Avenue in Williamsbridge, owned by Pjeter Gjonaj and constructed in 2014, has experienced recurring bedbug-related issues over the past several years, with the most recent bedbug report for the period ending October 2024 showing all six units having been affected and subsequently treated. This building has consistently been the subject of Housing Maintenance Code violations regarding bedbug reporting requirements, with documented violations in 2021, 2022, 2023, and 2024, all of which have since been closed.

These violations specifically pertained to the failure to file annual bedbug reports as required under the Housing Maintenance Code. While the building underwent rodent inspection in June 2022 and passed, the ongoing pattern of bedbug infestations, particularly in the most recent reporting period, indicates this remains a significant ongoing challenge for the property.

The bedbug situation appears to have been somewhat cyclical, with a period of no reported infestations between November 2021 and October 2022, followed by a complete reinfestation impacting all units between November 2023 and October 2024, despite eradication efforts being documented. The building's relatively young age (11 years as of 2025) and recent construction should ideally provide a solid physical structure, but the persistently recurring pest control challenges suggest an ongoing management issue that has persisted despite multiple treatment attempts and official notifications.
