2527 Valentine Avenue, Bronx, NY 10458

The 5-story, 53-unit New Law Tenement building at 2527 Valentine Avenue in the Fordham neighborhood, built in 1922 and currently owned by 2527 Valentine Realty LLC, has experienced ongoing heat and hot water system issues over the past three years. Between 2022 and 2024, there have been multiple emergency complaints regarding heat and hot water problems affecting both the entire building and individual apartments, with incidents recorded in October 2022, March 2023, November 2023, and January 2024.

More recently, in 2024, there have been two rodent-related complaints, though both investigations by the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene found no violations, and the building has consistently passed rodent inspections throughout 2023-2025. The building has a documented history of maintenance violations requiring attention to various living conditions. A notable cluster of violations was recorded in 2022 in Apartment C3, including issues with window guards, peeling paint, and mold (approximately 25 square feet) on multiple surfaces.

Other apartments have experienced different maintenance issues, such as broken kitchen cabinets in Apartment D8 (2020) and various paint and repair requirements in Apartments A6 and D8. The property has maintained an active bedbug reporting history, showing one documented case in 2022 (in Apartment C3) and another in 2020 (in Apartment D8), with no reported infestations in the most recent three reporting periods from 2022 to 2024. The building's management has generally responded to complaints, as evidenced by multiple cases being resolved or determined to have corrected conditions upon follow-up inspections, though some complaints in 2022 required tenants to file new complaints for continued issues.
