2046 Ryer Avenue, Bronx, NY 10457

The two-family house at 2046 Ryer Avenue in Fordham, owned by Abraham Phia, has an extensive maintenance record since its construction in 1901, with the most pressing recent concern being a carbon monoxide detector violation in the second-floor apartment identified in September 2024. The building has experienced several plumbing-related issues, most notably in September 2018 when multiple water supply complaints were filed with the Department of Housing Preservation and Development, though inspectors were unable to gain access to investigate.

Between 2021 and 2023, there were multiple complaints regarding illegal modifications and gas utility issues, with inspectors either denied access or finding no violations upon inspection. The property has undergone regular rodent inspections, with the most recent inspection in May 2025 resulting in a passing grade, following a failure for "Other Reasons" in April 2025.

Preliminary inspections between 2022 and 2024 show an overall improvement in pest control compliance, though a rat activity issue was noted in October 2023. The building has maintained consistent two-family occupancy since its construction, with inspections and complaints indicating ongoing maintenance requirements and occasional access issues for regulatory authorities. While many complaints have resulted in no violations being found, the pattern of access denial and the relatively high number of emergency plumbing complaints in 2018 suggest some historical maintenance challenges, though recent years show more successful compliance with inspections.
