2482 Valentine Avenue, Bronx, NY 10458

This five-story, 26-unit New Law tenement building was constructed in 1915 and is currently managed by 2482 Valentine LLC. The property has experienced several significant maintenance issues in recent years, with the most pressing concerns emerging in early 2025, including unresolved window pane, appliance, and pest problems, as well as some wall maintenance needs.

Prior to this, there were multiple heat and hot water system complaints throughout 2024, affecting either individual apartments or the entire building, though most were eventually resolved. A troubling pattern of rodent activity is evident from 2023 to 2025, with periodic inspections showing alternating results of "Passed" and "Rat Activity." Notably, the building underwent a comprehensive inspection on January 5, 2023, which revealed multiple issues in apartment 4B, including problems with plaster surfaces, painting, and window repairs, though these violations were certified as corrected by February 21, 2023. The building's mechanical systems have also faced challenges, including a boiler-related complaint in 2020 that resulted in an Environmental Control Board violation regarding leaking backflow preventers and exposed electrical wires, though this was ultimately resolved with no penalties assessed.

While there have been some recent sanitary concerns, including mold and pest issues reported in early 2025, the building's bedbug reports from 2019 through 2024 show no recorded infestations. The property's rodent inspection history, while showing improvement in 2025 with a "Passed" result, indicates ongoing challenges with vermin control, as evidenced by multiple "Rat Activity" reports in 2024. The most recent building maintenance issues, particularly the unresolved complaints from March 2025 and the pattern of heat/hot water complaints in 2024, suggest some ongoing challenges with building systems and resident comfort.
