713 East 213th Street, Bronx, NY 10467

The two-family house at 713 East 213th Street in Williamsbridge, owned by John Brown, has had a mixed record of pest-related issues since 2018. Most notably, there was a rat sighting reported to the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene in late September 2018, which followed a pattern of rodent problems in the building.

Between late 2018 and early 2019, multiple rodent baiting inspections were conducted, with initial inspections in October 2018 and November 2018 resulting in failures for unspecified reasons, though subsequent inspections during this period showed bait applications. The most recent rodent inspection in August 2022 was passed, suggesting improvement in pest management, particularly as no further rodent complaints have been recorded since 2018.

The building's bedbug reporting record appears more stable, with a filing in June 2021 covering the period from November 2019 to October 2020, showing zero infested or eradicated units, and no reports of re-infestation. Given the timing of these inspections and reports, it appears the building has undergone regular pest management oversight since 2018, with some success in addressing rodent issues, while maintaining a bedbug-free status in recent years. The property's construction dates back to 1975 and consists of three stories, typical of its building class designation.
