1277 East 224th Street, Bronx, NY 10466

The three-unit residential building at 1277 East 224th Street in the Edenwald neighborhood, owned by Rudolph Pearce, has been subject to recurring administrative violations relating to bedbug reporting compliance over the past four years. Specifically, from 2021 through 2024, there have been four consecutive Housing Maintenance Code violations, all indicating failure to file the required annual bedbug report with the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD), though these violations do not directly imply an existing bedbug infestation.

More positively, as of late 2024, the building is undergoing some permitted work, with both plumbing (PL) and exterior wall (EW) permits issued on November 6, 2024, under job number 220086555. The property has also attracted attention from the Department of Buildings (DOB) regarding unpermitted work, with two complaints filed in late 2024 and early 2025 concerning work without permits.

These complaints were promptly investigated and resulted in compliance inspections being performed on December 3, 2024, and January 9, 2025, respectively, suggesting a proactive approach to ensuring building code compliance. While the building's maintenance history shows consistent attention to bedbug reporting requirements through multiple HPD violations, the recent issuance of work permits represents positive movement towards building improvements, though the nature of the permitted work is not specified in the available data.
