3946 Pratt Avenue, Bronx, NY 10466

The two-family house at 3946 Pratt Avenue in the Edenwald neighborhood, owned by Arthur Franciosa, has two notable documented pest-related incidents from mid-2022 that warrant attention. On July 12, 2022, a sanitation complaint was filed through the 311 system regarding a pest infestation, which was subsequently inspected by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD).

The inspection on August 23, 2022, revealed a significant rodent problem, specifically citing the presence of rats throughout the second-floor apartment (Apartment 2), resulting in a Class C violation under the Housing Maintenance Code (HMC) that required the infestation to be abated. While the initial complaint filed in July and the HPD inspection were closed by late August 2022, it's important to note that the August inspection revealed an open violation status related to the infestation issue, with no certified resolution date provided in the records.

Given that this building is relatively new (constructed in 2008), the documented pest issues in mid-2022 represent the only significant complaint on record, at least through October 2023. While HPD violations were issued and inspections conducted, the current status of these violations is somewhat ambiguous, as the records indicate an open violation status without clear documentation of resolution. Potential applicants should note that as of my last training cut-off in October 2023, these were the only documented issues on record for this property, and there may have been subsequent developments not captured in the existing data.
