2055 Anthony Avenue, Bronx, NY 10457

The 6-story apartment building at 2055 Anthony Avenue in Fordham, owned by Ved Parkash, was constructed in 1920 and contains 78 units. The property has experienced significant maintenance issues in recent months, with multiple housing violations documented between April and June 2025, including unsanitary mold conditions, water leaks, and heating/hot water problems affecting the entire building. Notable violations from 2024 include concerns about the building's facade condition, with active ECB violations for step cracks, spalling bricks, and a previously observed gas line issue.

The building's elevator system has been a recurring concern, with multiple complaints about inadequate alternate service and violations resulting in Oath Summonses between February and April 2025. There have also been recurring plumbing issues, particularly involving toilets, and heating systems have failed to provide adequate service on multiple occasions. The property has experienced persistent rodent issues, with several failed inspections between 2023 and 2024 indicating rat activity, though recent inspections in January 2025 and July 2025 have shown varying results.

While the building has undergone various repairs and addressed some violations (as indicated by certified dates from late 2024 to early 2025), including water leak repairs in Apartment 3A and multiple heating system issues, significant maintenance challenges remain. The building's history shows relatively few bedbug incidents, with some prior infestations between 2018 and 2020, but none reported in recent years. The property has also faced issues with building safety systems, including multiple violations related to smoke detectors, carbon monoxide detectors, and building access systems as documented in 2024 inspections.
