2327 Valentine Avenue, Bronx, NY 10458

2327 Valentine Avenue is a 5-story, 26-unit residential building in Fordham, constructed in 1915 and currently owned by United Neighbors. The property has experienced persistent maintenance challenges throughout 2023-2025, with particularly notable issues including multiple plumbing problems (including sink and bathtub issues), unsanitary conditions (notably pest infestations and mold), and heating system failures affecting the entire building. A significant cluster of complaints in April 2025 resulted in multiple violations being issued, though some conditions were subsequently reported as corrected.

The building shows ongoing pest management challenges, with open violations documented in October 2024 for apartment 5C, including infestations of mice and roaches, along with mold issues affecting both walls and ceilings. Recent rodent inspections present a mixed picture, with the most recent June 2025 inspection passing, though there have been several failed inspections for compliance throughout 2023-2024. The property has also faced various maintenance challenges including problems with windows, flooring, and plaster/paint conditions, particularly in apartments 3D and 5C.

While the building has maintained a record of no bedbug infestations from 2020 through 2025, other maintenance issues persist. A roofing problem was reported in February 2025 and was marked as emergency status, indicating potentially significant building envelope concerns. The Department of Buildings conducted an inspection in July 2024 regarding a wall issue, though no violations were found at that time. The building's Maintenance Code Violations from October 2024 remain open, suggesting ongoing challenges with addressing noted deficiencies.
