2084 Valentine Avenue, Bronx, NY 10457

2084 Valentine Avenue is a three-story, three-unit residential building located in the Fordham neighborhood, constructed in 2006 and currently owned by Sol Paneth. The building has experienced several concerning maintenance issues over the past five years, with the most significant being recurring heat and hot water problems. Between 2020 and 2022, there were multiple complaints regarding inadequate heat and hot water, affecting both individual apartments and the entire building.

Notably, violations were issued in late 2021 concerning unsanitary conditions related to garbage and recycling storage. The building's safety systems also faced scrutiny in 2018, with a number of violations related to the sprinkler system, including inadequate water supply, missing components, and problematic plumbing lines, though these were subsequently addressed and certified as corrected. Recent inspections have shown persistent rodent activity, particularly in early 2023, though more recent rodent inspections in 2024 and 2025 have passed without issues, suggesting some improvement in pest control.

The building currently has two open violations from December 2021 related to public hall conditions and entrance door repairs that remain unresolved. Additionally, a building-wide structural inspection in April 2021 noted cracking on exterior surfaces and stairway walls that was deemed non-compliant. Despite these issues, the building has maintained a consistent record of no bedbug infestations since 2019, and the most recent rodent inspection results from 2025 have shown no current violations. The property has undergone regular rodent inspections in recent years, with a pattern of both rat activity and successful compliance inspections indicating ongoing pest management efforts.
