2496 Arthur Avenue, Bronx, NY 10458

2496 Arthur Avenue is a three-story, three-unit Old Law Tenement building located in the Belmont neighborhood and owned by Francesco Salerno. The building, constructed in 1920, has a mixed record of code compliance and safety maintenance over recent years. Most notably, a March 2023 Housing Maintenance Code violation indicated the building's failure to file an annual bedbug report, though this violation is now marked as closed.

Between 2018 and 2023, the building experienced various violations, including safety-related issues such as the need for proper gas leak procedure notices, carbon monoxide detector repairs, and the requirement to address hot water temperature issues exceeding 130 degrees in Apartment 3. The building has undergone multiple rodent inspections between 2020 and 2025, with an initial failure noted in May 2021, though subsequent inspections have passed consistently, including a March 2025 inspection. Notably, the building has maintained a clean bedbug record in recent years, with no reported infestations or re-infested units in the previous five reporting periods from 2020 through 2025. The property has shown improvement in safety compliance, with many violations being resolved through appropriate corrective actions.

These included posting required safety notices regarding building registration, gas leak procedures, and heating system access, as well as addressing various maintenance issues in Apartment 3 regarding carbon monoxide detectors and unauthorized alterations. The building's current rodent inspection record appears stable, with regular inspections showing compliance. While the property has had its share of violations, particularly in 2018, the majority of these have been addressed and closed, with no recent trends suggesting ongoing maintenance or safety concerns. The most recent bedbug reporting requirement was filed in February 2025, showing continued compliance with this particular health requirement.
