2024 Ryer Avenue, Bronx, NY 10457

The three-story, three-unit tenement building at 2024 Ryer Avenue in Fordham, currently owned by Yonatan Bahumi, has experienced significant maintenance and safety issues over recent years. Most notably, there has been a troubling pattern of heating and electrical problems, with multiple power outages and heat/hot water complaints documented in late 2024 and late 2023, including emergencies in December 2024 and November 2024.

The building's current violations, as of December 2024, are concerning, particularly in Apartment 3, where there are open violations related to safety equipment including missing window guards and a smoke detector, as well as an active mold issue at the bathroom window frame. The apartment has also experienced reported pest infestations, with documented violations for both mice and roaches as of late 2024. The property, built in 1901, has a history of various maintenance issues, including a cluster of complaints in June 2022 regarding unsanitary conditions, window frames, flooring, and plaster problems.

More recently, there has been an ongoing rodent problem, with multiple inspections in 2024 and 2025 revealing rat activity, most recently in May 2025. The building has three active ECB violations from 2019 related to gas line modifications, with penalty amounts totaling $3,750, though these appear to have been unaddressed for several years. While bedbug reports from 2021 through 2025 show no infestations, the persistent heating, cooling, and pest issues raise significant concerns about the building's maintenance and safety standards.
