AI summary · updated June 2026

The two-family house at 2042 Ryer Avenue in Fordham, owned by Hamlet Wagner, has experienced several significant maintenance and safety issues since 2018, though recent inspections show improvement in conditions. The building underwent multiple Housing Maintenance Code violations in 2018, including inadequate heat and hot water supply in both apartments (1FL and 2), a problematic renovation involving unauthorized partition walls in apartment 2, and concerns about carbon monoxide detection equipment. Of particular note were the three violations issued in January 2018 regarding unauthorized gas piping work in the cellar, for which the owner faced $2,000 in penalties, though these violations were later resolved.

The property's maintenance record shows consistent rodent control compliance, with all 10 recent inspections (from 2019 to 2025) passing successfully. In terms of more recent history, the building has not had any significant violations or complaints since 2019, and all housing code violations from 2018 have been officially closed. The most recent building inspection in April 2025 also passed, suggesting improved maintenance practices. A gas utility referral complaint from February 2019 led to a stop work order that was fully rescinded in March 2019, and there was one incident of denied access during a March 2019 inspection, though this violation was later dismissed.

Risk factors

What's driving this score

These are the three data points that most influenced this building's score — ranked by how much weight the model placed on each one.

Building assessed value

The city's assessed value reflects building size and neighborhood — the model uses it as an additional size and location signal.

Neighborhood (ZIP code)

The ZIP code captures local housing market conditions and enforcement patterns that affect all buildings in the area.

Neighborhood location

The model uses precise location as a proxy for neighborhood-level risk patterns — some blocks have systematically higher violation rates.
