1315 East 224th Street, Bronx, NY 10466

The three-unit residential building at 1315 East 224th Street in Edenwald, owned by Ralph Bristol and constructed in 1987, has experienced persistent administrative issues over the past four years regarding its annual bedbug reporting obligations under the Housing Maintenance Code. The property has received four consecutive Notices of Violation between 2021 and 2024 for failing to file the required annual bedbug reports, with the most recent violation still listed as open as of April 2024.

While regular bedbug reporting is a compliance requirement rather than an indication of an infestation, the recurring nature of these violations suggests ongoing oversight challenges. The building had a rodent-related inspection in 2010, which resulted in one failure (though the specific reasons were not documented) and a subsequent passing inspection.

More recently, in August 2023, there was a mosquito-related complaint filed with the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene, though this was promptly closed and appears to have been addressed without any documented follow-up. The most significant concerning pattern from the available records is the repeated non-compliance with bedbug reporting requirements over multiple years, though it should be noted that this does not necessarily indicate an active pest control problem in the building, just a procedural oversight.
