Augrented Insights Report for 2526 Valentine Avenue

2526 Valentine Avenue is a 5-story, 43-unit residential building located in Fordham and constructed in 1922, currently owned by Anthony Gazivoda. The building has experienced persistent heating and hot water system issues in early 2025, with multiple emergency complaints filed in January and March, though inspections confirmed temporary resolutions. A significant cluster of problems emerged in late 2024, including unsanitary conditions with confirmed pest infestations (roaches and mice) in apartment 1C, and various maintenance issues across units 1C, 4G, and 5B, such as electrical problems and water leaks.

The building's maintenance history reveals recurring electrical infrastructure concerns, with multiple violations and complaints between 2019-2020 regarding exposed wiring and improper electrical installations, culminating in several active ECB violations in 2020 related to electrical safety and storage violations in the basement areas. Recent housing maintenance code violations opened in June 2025 suggest ongoing issues with appliances and plumbing fixtures, particularly in relation to bathtubs/showers and refrigerators. The building has demonstrated a pattern of rat activity according to multiple rodent inspections conducted between 2023 and 2025, indicating persistent pest control challenges despite periodic compliance passes.

Although the building has maintained an active status with inspections passing for certain rodent inspections in 2024-2025, the frequency of heating system complaints and the cluster of maintenance issues from late 2024 through early 2025 suggest ongoing challenges with building systems and maintenance responsiveness. The property also has several active DOB violations as of 2023-2024 concerning energy efficiency documentation and external low-pressure inspection filings, indicating potential regulatory compliance issues. While there have been consistent bedbug monitoring reports since 2019, showing mostly zero infestation counts, the presence of other pests and maintenance issues suggests ongoing challenges with building upkeep.
