290 Balcom Avenue, Bronx, NY 10465

290 Balcom Avenue is a three-story, three-unit, Class A residential building located in Throgs Neck, owned by Heungtung Yeung and constructed in 2002. The building has a notable history of bedbug reporting compliance issues, with four consecutive Housing Maintenance Code violations from 2021 through 2024, all related to the failure to file annual bedbug reports as required by HPD regulations.

The most recent filing, submitted in August 2024 for the period of November 2022 to October 2023, reported no infested units, no eradicated units, and no re-infested units, suggesting effective pest management during this period. In contrast, the preceding filing from March 2023 (covering November 2021 to October 2022) reported bedbug issues in all three units, with all being eradicated and re-infestation occurring in all units. The building's earlier history shows successful rodent inspections in 2012 and 2019, both passing without issues.

The pattern of violations appears to stem from the building management's tardiness in submitting the required reports, rather than ongoing pest issues, as evidenced by the complete eradication of bedbugs reported in the 2023 filing period. The successful elimination of reported infestations in subsequent years, combined with the lack of recent violations since 2024, indicates improved compliance with HPD requirements. However, the building's documented history shows a significant bedbug infestation in 2022, followed by successful eradication and improved reporting compliance in subsequent years, suggesting active management of pest control issues when they arise.
