2390 Valentine Avenue, Bronx, NY 10458

2390 Valentine Avenue is a 3-story, 4-unit residential building located in the Fordham neighborhood, built in 1931 and currently owned by Michael Okereke. The property has experienced significant heating-related issues over the past few years, with multiple complaints documented in late 2023 and early 2024 regarding lack of heat and hot water affecting both individual apartments and the entire building. These incidents resulted in violations, though some were subsequently resolved.

The building has also faced pest-related challenges, with unsanitary conditions and pest infestations reported in 2025 and 2024, including confirmed rodent problems in January 2024 when multiple violations were issued for Apartment 1A, specifically regarding mice and roach infestations, along with plumbing and door issues. The most recent inspections in 2025 showed multiple ceiling issues across different units, with some classified as emergency situations. The building has a mixed record of compliance, with several violations being corrected through inspection processes, though some remain open as of the latest available data.

Safety concerns have been relatively minimal, with only one documented incident in 2019 regarding a broken window guard. Notably, the building has passed multiple rodent inspections in recent years, including as recently as April 2025, suggesting improvements in pest management. The property's heating system has been a recurring source of tenant complaints and violations, though according to recent inspections, there have been no active bedbug infestations reported, with the most recent filings indicating zero affected units. The building's history shows a pattern of maintenance challenges typical of older residential structures, with particular attention needed to monitor heating system reliability and pest control efforts.
