2026 Ryer Avenue, Bronx, NY 10457

The two-story, 1901 building at 2026 Ryer Avenue in the Fordham neighborhood, currently owned by Jordan Cohen, has experienced several maintenance and safety issues over the past few years. In late 2022, the property faced multiple urgent problems, including heating systems failures (both apartment-specific and building-wide), toilet plumbing issues, and a slow water leak, all of which resulted in HPD violations.

Additional concerns during the same period included a broken window guard and pest issues, though no violations were recorded for these problems. As of November 2024, the building remains under several open violations following a recent inspection, including requirements for proper lighting in and around the entrance, mailbox area, and common spaces, as well as safety notice postings regarding carbon monoxide detectors, smoke detectors, and gas leak procedures.

The building is currently showing signs of rodent activity as of May 2025, though almost all previous inspections from 2022 through 2024 consistently passed rodent inspections. Notably, there were no reported bedbug infestations during the 2020-2021 reporting period, and most emergency complaints from late 2022 were resolved within weeks, suggesting some responsiveness to tenant issues, though many violations from the 2024 inspection remain unaddressed as of the current date.
