2229 Valentine Avenue, Bronx, NY 10457
The 43-unit, 6-story residential building at 2229 Valentine Avenue in Fordham, built in 1936 and currently owned by Aaron Bauer, has experienced numerous maintenance issues in recent years, particularly in 2025. Most notably, there are multiple documented instances of water-related problems, with three separate water leak complaints filed in April 2025, two of which were repeated complaints. The building has also faced recurring issues with the elevator system, with multiple complaints about "Single Device on Property/No Alternate Service" recorded between 2021 and 2025, with the most recent active complaint from May 2025.
Apartment 6D has shown particular maintenance challenges, with open violations as of October 2024 related to elevator safety, window guards, electrical outlets, and pest infestations. The building has passed recent rodent inspections in 2025, though previous inspections in late 2024 showed rat activity. Inspection records reveal several structural and safety concerns, including an active environmental control board violation from December 2024 regarding exterior facade maintenance.
Multiple attempts by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) to conduct inspections in response to tenant complaints in 2025 were unsuccessful due to access issues. The building has maintained a clean bedbug record since 2020, with no reported infestations in the past five years. While there have been various maintenance issues documented through 311 service requests and housing maintenance code complaints throughout 2025, many of these complaints remain unresolved or were closed without verification of resolution. The building's historical records show periodic instances of monitoring system violations between 2018 and 2024, including door lock monitoring and emergency exit concerns.
