724 Cranford Avenue, Bronx, NY 10470

The three-unit, three-story building at 724 Cranford Avenue in Wakefield, owned by Charlene Grinion and constructed in 2001, has experienced several notable issues over the past few years that warrant attention. Most concerning are the four open Bedbug Report violations (2021-2024) related to the failure to file annual bedbug reports as required by Housing Maintenance Code, which remains unaddressed as of the most recent information available.

The building also faced rodent-related challenges, with multiple complaints in August 2022 (two rat sightings) leading to Health Department inspections, though subsequent inspections in December 2022 and August 2022 passed successfully. Earlier, in 2020, there were two non-urgent complaints regarding unsanitary conditions related to garbage/recycling storage, though these were inspected and no violations were found. Historical rodent inspection results from 2010 show multiple compliance failures during that period, suggesting this has been an ongoing concern for the property.

Despite the building's relatively recent construction date, these persistent issues, particularly the open bedbug violations and historical rodent problems, indicate ongoing challenges with maintaining proper health and safety standards. The most recent inspection results have shown some improvements, with recent rodent inspections passing, but the outstanding bedbug reporting violations represent a significant compliance issue that has remained unresolved for multiple years. The building's ownership and management will need to address these outstanding violations to ensure proper compliance with housing regulations and improve resident safety and comfort.
