2000 Davidson Avenue, Bronx, NY 10453

The 16-unit, 5-story residential building at 2000 Davidson Avenue in Morris Heights, owned by Sam Klein and built in 1925, has experienced recurrent maintenance and safety issues over the past few years, particularly regarding elevator service and various infrastructure systems. Most notably, there are four active elevator-related violations from 2024 and previous years, including deficiencies in door lock monitoring systems and out-of-service conditions, with penalties totaling $20,875.

The building has experienced multiple plumbing issues, with the most recent water supply complaint recorded in April 2025, and an array of other maintenance concerns including electrical wiring problems, unsanitary conditions, and heating system failures documented between 2024-2025. While many of these complaints have been closed following repairs or corrections, there have been some instances where inspectors were unable to access the premises for verification. The property has shown mixed results in pest management, with rodent activity identified in inspections throughout 2023-2025, though the most recent July 2025 inspection passed.

The building's maintenance history shows a pattern of emergency plumbing issues, particularly in early 2024, and various apartment-specific problems including maintenance violations in Apartment 2B related to kitchen fixtures, cabinet repairs, and wall conditions. The elevator system has been a persistent point of contention, with multiple complaints and violations recorded between 2020-2024, suggesting ongoing challenges with this essential service. However, the property has maintained a clean record regarding bedbug infestations, with all annual reports since 2021 showing zero infested units.
