167 Rochelle Street, Bronx, NY 10464

The two-family house at 167 Rochelle Street in City Island, owned by Ben Celaj, has experienced several notable events since 2013, with particular attention required to its pest control history. The property, built in 1925, has undergone multiple rodent inspections between 2013 and 2020, showing a concerning pattern: it failed inspections in October 2013 and February 2020, though it passed inspections in May 2019 and December 2013.

A significant rat sighting was reported in February 2020, prompting a Department of Health and Mental Hygiene inspection that found violations requiring follow-up inspections, and a related Department of Buildings complaint regarding a vacant and unguarded building was recorded, though no violations were warranted at the time of inspection in May 2020. More recently, the building has maintained a bedbug-free status, with the most recent bedbug report for the period ending October 2024 showing zero infested or eradicated units, and no re-infestations.

The property has not had any recorded complaints or violations since the 2020 rodent incident, suggesting improved pest management in recent years. The two-family residence's inspection history between 2013 and 2020 indicates periods of concern regarding vermin control, though the absence of recent complaints or violations is a positive development.
