859 East 242nd Street, Bronx, NY 10470

The three-story, three-unit building at 859 East 242nd Street in Wakefield, owned by Isaac Pasik, has a documented history dating back to 1925. The property has faced recurring pest control challenges over the years, most recently indicated by a 2022 rodent sighting that resulted in DOHMH violations requiring follow-up inspections.

Between 2021 and 2023, the building received three Class A Housing Maintenance Code violations for failing to file required annual bedbug reports, though the most recent bedbug reports from 2024-2025 show no infestations or eradications. The building's rodent inspection history shows a pattern of inconsistency, with failed compliance inspections in mid-2022 following a rodent sighting, though subsequent inspections in late 2022 and early 2023 resulted in passing grades, suggesting some improvement in pest management protocols.

Earlier violations from 2008 documented specific issues in the first-floor apartment, including a rodent infestation and peeling paint in the kitchen, though some of these violations were certified as resolved in May 2024. The property's recent bedbug reporting history (2024-2025) suggests improved compliance with Housing Maintenance Code requirements, as no infested or eradicated units have been reported in the past two filing periods. While the building has experienced recurring pest-related issues over the years, recent inspection results indicate some progress in pest management, particularly in terms of regulatory compliance and timely reporting.
