Augrented Insights Report for 2396 Valentine Avenue

The 26-unit, 5-story New Law Tenement building at 2396 Valentine Avenue in Fordham, built in 1915 and currently owned by Isaac Schwimmer, has experienced several ongoing maintenance issues in recent years. Most notably, there is an open plumbing issue from April 2025 involving a toilet, and recent rodent-related concerns, with a June 2025 complaint resulting in an inaccessible inspection attempt by health officials.

The building has documented multiple instances of pest and unsanitary conditions between 2024-2025, with two pest-related HPD complaints in December 2024 alone, though these were closed due to inspection access issues. The property has experienced various maintenance challenges including heating system problems, with complaints in February and August 2023 regarding heat and hot water, though these were eventually closed after verification of corrections. A significant cluster of violations was recorded in July 2024 specifically targeting Apartment 20, including issues with lead-based paint, door functionality, and various maintenance requirements, though these violations were certified as corrected.

The building's rodent inspections show a pattern of activity, with the most recent April 2025 inspection passing, but preceding inspections in 2024-2025 indicating various levels of rodent activity. While the building has been free of bedbug infestations according to official records since 2019, and all recent bedbug reports (2023-2025) show zero infested units, the persistence of plumbing, heat, and pest-related complaints suggests ongoing maintenance challenges. The building's record includes multiple complaints about plumbing issues (including radiators, toilets, and damp spots), heat systems, and unsanitary conditions, many of which have required multiple inspection attempts due to access issues.
