Augrented Insights Report for 2485 Elm Place

The 26-unit, 5-story building at 2485 Elm Place in Fordham, owned by David Tennenbaum and constructed in 1913, is currently experiencing multiple ongoing maintenance issues as of mid-2025. The property has a concerning pattern of intercom system problems, with at least five open complaints related to the bell/buzzer/intercom system since March 2025, following multiple similar issues in previous months.

Additionally, there are active concerns regarding water supply and plumbing systems, including a new emergency plumbing complaint filed in June 2025. The building has undergone three separate heat/hot water service disruptions in early 2025, though these issues were reportedly resolved promptly when inspected by HPD. The property has a significant history of building system and repair needs, including documented violations from late 2024 in Apartment 5D concerning defective plaster surfaces, water leaks, ceiling mold, floor tiles, and electrical outlets, some of which remain open as of the latest inspection records.

Between 2024 and 2025, multiple rat activity inspections have been conducted, with the most recent in March 2025. The building has also been the subject of several illegal conversion complaints between 2018 and 2025, with limited access preventing proper inspections on multiple occasions. While there have been heating system complaints and some maintenance issues, it's worth noting that the building has maintained a bedbug-free status according to recent annual reports from 2019 through 2024.
