2050 Anthony Avenue, Bronx, NY 10457

The 6-story residential building at 2050 Anthony Avenue in Fordham, owned by William Schur, has experienced several significant maintenance issues over the past two years (2023-2025). Most notably, there have been recurring problems with heating and hot water, including emergency complaints in December 2023 and April 2024 regarding lack of service to the entire building.

The building has also faced multiple unsanitary conditions, with reports of mold and pests in August 2024, along with a documented rodent presence in early 2023. Recent violations include an active Class C violation from September 2024 regarding a non-self-closing fire door on the 2nd floor, and a June 2024 violation for a broken window pane in apartment 2K. The elevator system has been a consistent area of concern, with multiple complaints between 2018-2023 regarding its single device operation and lack of alternate service, including a Class 1 violation for a non-working car door restrictor issued in November 2021 with a $1,250 penalty.

Building inspections for bedbug infestations show no cases from 2019 through 2025, and recent rodent inspections in 2024-2025 have passed, though there were indications of rat activity in early 2023. The property has had multiple Housing Maintenance Code violations, particularly affecting apartment 2K, including issues with electrical outlets, mold, and missing safety devices like smoke and carbon monoxide detectors, though many of these have been closed following inspections in 2024. The building has also faced administrative violations regarding energy efficiency reporting, though most of these have been dismissed or resolved.
