Augrented Insights Report for 2540 Valentine Avenue

The 38-unit, 5-story New Law Tenement building at 2540 Valentine Avenue in Fordham, owned by Shaban Mehaj, has experienced several maintenance issues in recent years, particularly between 2023-2024. Notable concerns include multiple emergency heat/hot water complaints in late 2023 (affecting both individual apartments and the entire building), various plumbing issues (bathtub/shower, water supply, and toilet problems), and pest-related concerns in early 2024.

The building underwent inspections in August 2024 that revealed several safety code violations, including issues with smoke detectors, carbon monoxide detectors, self-closing doors, and encumbrances obstructing fire escapes. These violations, though classified as "B" and "C," were marked as "Closed" after being certified for correction in September 2024. The building's historical records show consistent rodent inspection pass rates from 2019 through 2025, indicating no significant rodent problems.

There are also two notable sets of violations regarding energy efficiency reporting that remain active as of 2021-2022, related to failure to file benchmarking reports and display energy scores. During the COVID-19 pandemic, there was one incident in 2020 involving active construction at a non-essential occupied building that resulted in a $10,000 penalty, though this appears to have been fully rescinded. The building's most recent inspection in May 2025 passed, suggesting current conditions may have improved since 2024.
