2080 Valentine Avenue, Bronx, NY 10457

The three-story, two-family house at 2080 Valentine Avenue in the Fordham neighborhood, currently owned by Sergio Kielmanowicz, has experienced several significant maintenance issues over the past few years. Most recently, in January 2025, there was a heat and hot water outage affecting the entire building, though this was resolved quickly after inspection. The building has a history of heating system problems, with similar issues reported in February 2024 affecting individual apartments.

Multiple repair requests were documented in early 2024, including concerns about electrical outlets, appliance issues (refrigerator), and various maintenance concerns. A comprehensive inspection in March 2024 revealed several building code violations in Apartment 1, including defective electrical outlets, paint requirements, and an infestation issue, though many of these were certified as corrected by April 2024. Earlier, in 2023, the building faced multiple maintenance challenges, including plumbing issues and electrical concerns, all of which were eventually resolved without issued violations.

The property had significant structural concerns reported in 2018-2021, including problems with cellar horizontal beams and support structures, which resulted in fines and required engineering assessments, though these violations were later resolved. The building's rodent inspections show consistent passing results from 2022 through 2025, with occasional bait application in late 2021 indicating past rodent activity. While many of the building's recent complaints have been addressed and closed, the pattern of heating system issues and maintenance requests suggests ongoing vigilance may be required regarding building systems and infrastructure.
