2123 Tiebout Avenue, Bronx, NY 10457

The 6-story, 48-unit residential building at 2123 Tiebout Avenue in Fordham, owned by Frederick Camerata and constructed in 1923, has experienced numerous maintenance issues in recent years. Most notably in 2025, there were multiple complaints about unsanitary conditions including pests, flooring problems, and appliance issues, though HPD inspectors were often unable to complete inspections due to lack of access. The building has also faced persistent challenges with rodent activity, as evidenced by multiple inspections throughout 2024 and 2025 showing rat activity and the application of bait.

Lead paint violations have been a significant concern, particularly affecting Apartment A7, where multiple violations regarding lead-based paint hazards were documented in 2024-2025, along with mold issues in both A7 and F4. The property has a concerning history of structural and safety-related complaints, including two complaints about building shaking/vibration and sidewalk shed issues in 2024, though it should be noted that inspection results for some of these complaints indicated no violations were found. The facade inspection requirements have generated multiple violations, with Cycle 8A and 9A reporting issues documented between 2021-2024, though some of these have since been resolved.

Recently, in June 2025, new complaints about mold and paint/plaster issues were filed and remain open. The building's history of heating and hot water complaints in early 2025, along with various maintenance code violations and emergency repairs, suggest ongoing building maintenance challenges. However, it's worth noting that the building has maintained a clean record regarding bedbug infestations, with all annual reports from 2019 to 2024 showing zero infested, eradicated, or re-infested units.
