2474 Marion Avenue, Bronx, NY 10458

The 6-story, 25-unit residential building at 2474 Marion Avenue in Fordham, owned by Cuthbert Thomas, has experienced several significant maintenance issues in recent years, particularly in the last 12-18 months. Most notably, there have been multiple reports of pest problems, including rodent sightings in January 2025, and multiple complaints about unsanitary conditions related to pests in December 2024. The building has also faced various interior maintenance challenges, with multiple complaints in December 2024 regarding paint/plaster issues affecting walls and ceilings, flooring/stairs problems, and a heavy water leak, some of which resulted in HPD violations.

These issues, along with an electricity-related complaint about no lighting in early 2025, suggest ongoing maintenance challenges. The building's safety systems have also raised concerns, particularly regarding smoke and carbon monoxide detection. In late 2024, violations were issued for inoperable smoke and carbon monoxide detectors in Apartment 4C, though previous inspection violations from September 2023 regarding safety notices and signage were subsequently certified as corrected.

The property appears to have regular inspections for rodent activity, with several passing inspections between 2022-2024, though recent complaints suggest possible re-emergence of the problem. Other maintenance issues have included a heat/hot water problem that was resolved in January 2024, a plumbing issue in late 2022, and the presence of multiple open and closed housing maintenance code violations. The building has maintained an active compliance record for bedbug reporting, with no infestations recorded in the past five reporting periods.
