4241 Byron Avenue, Bronx, NY 10466

The three-unit, three-story residential building at 4241 Byron Avenue in Wakefield, owned by Thelmaudrey James and constructed in 1910, has exhibited persistent noncompliance with New York City Housing Maintenance Code (HMC) requirements over the past several years. The most significant and recurring issue involves the failure to file the required annual bedbug reports with the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD), with open violations recorded in each of the last four consecutive years from 2021 through 2024.

These violations suggest ongoing disregard for mandatory pest management protocols, which could affect tenant comfort and safety. The building's rodent control history shows mixed results, with inspections in early 2012 revealing one failed inspection for unspecified reasons, followed by a compliant result in March of the same year.

While the rodent issue appears to have been resolved, the more pressing concern remains the repeated bedbug reporting violations, which have become a pattern of noncompliance over multiple years. The persistence of these violations, while not directly indicating an active bedbug infestation, suggests a concerning lack of attention to required pest management documentation procedures.
