2326 Ryer Avenue, Bronx, NY 10458

Located at 2326 Ryer Avenue in Fordham, this 5-story, 26-unit New Law Tenement building was constructed in 1916 and is currently owned by Ibsam Martinez. The building has experienced recurring maintenance issues over the past few years, particularly in the areas of water leaks and Unit 5A deficiencies. Most recently, in April 2025, HPD responded to complaints regarding a slow water leak and potential lead-based paint issues in the building.

Throughout early 2025, multiple complaints were filed regarding slow water leaks, while late 2024 saw reports of heavy water flow, mold concerns, and various infrastructure problems. Significant ongoing violations have been identified in Unit 5A, including issues with heating system access, hot water supply, smoke detector functionality, and multiple instances of peeling paint requiring remediation. The building's plumbing and flooring have also been subjects of concern, with several violations remaining open as of late 2024.

The property has undergone several rodent inspections between 2022 and 2025, with mixed results, including recent passes in 2025 and December 2024, though there were reports of rat activity in November 2024 and November 2023. Bedbug inspections from 2021 to 2024 have shown no evidence of infestation. The building's history includes multiple water-related complaints, with at least six separate incidents reported between December 2024 and early 2025, suggesting ongoing plumbing issues. While some violations have been addressed and closed, including a cockroach infestation in Unit 1E that was resolved in May 2024, many prominent issues remain pending resolution, particularly concerning Unit 5A's multiple maintenance deficiencies that were documented in August 2024.
