2340 Valentine Avenue, Bronx, NY 10458

2340 Valentine Avenue is a 6-story, 49-unit residential building constructed in 1927, currently owned by David Radoncic. The building has experienced significant maintenance issues in 2024-2025, particularly concerning plumbing and electrical systems. Recent service requests and violations indicate ongoing problems with water leaks, plumbing fixtures (including bathtubs, showers, toilets, and sinks), and multiple electrical outages.

There are also active issues with heating systems, as evidenced by multiple heat/hot water complaints in early 2025, including an open complaint as of April 2025. The property has documented rodent activity throughout the past year, with multiple compliance inspections noting rat activity between April 2024 and July 2025, though a compliance inspection in July 2025 indicates some improvement in pest management. The building faces several serious exterior maintenance challenges, with active Environmental Control Board violations from 2024 describing issues with cracked/spalling windowsills and facade problems.

These exterior violations are accompanied by active Department of Buildings violations regarding facade maintenance, including large vertical cracks and damaged mortar joints. The building's elevator system has been a recurring source of problems, with multiple complaints about service issues between 2018 and 2025, including a currently active complaint about single device service without alternate options. Apartment 2B has numerous documented violations from a December 2024 inspection, including issues with mold, mice infestation, floor damage, electrical outlets, and various repair needs. While the building's bedbug reports show minimal activity, with only one infested unit reported in 2020, the recent history of plumbing, electrical, and pest issues suggests ongoing maintenance challenges that require attention.
