2088 Ryer Avenue, Bronx, NY 10457

The three-story, 10-unit building at 2088 Ryer Avenue, owned by Yoel Mandel, has a significant history of maintenance issues and violations dating back to 1901. Most recently, in June 2025, there are open plumbing-water supply issues, and the building has experienced recurring water-related problems, including a slow water leak reported in October 2024.

A cluster of complaints in September-October 2024 revealed multiple emergency violations, including unsanitary conditions (mold and pests), electrical issues (no lighting and power outage), and problems with paint/plaster (ceiling). The building has also faced structural concerns, with a 2023 violation related to a retaining wall collapse resulting in a $25,000 penalty, though this violation appears to be active without a resolved date. The property has seen several concerning patterns in maintenance and building systems, including multiple 311 complaints about egress issues and structural monitoring concerns in 2023.

Apartment 2C appears to have been particularly affected by various maintenance problems, as evidenced by multiple violations in October 2024, including issues with light fixtures, water leaks, ventilation systems, and pest infestations. The building has gone through various inspection and compliance phases regarding rodent control, with the most recent inspections in 2025 showing failures for "Other Reasons." Despite these issues, there have been no reported bedbug infestations in the building since 2021, suggesting some areas of improvement in pest management. Violation records indicate both emergency and non-emergency classifications, with some violations receiving fix dates while others remain open or still under correction periods as of the latest data available.
