2051 Ryer Avenue, Bronx, NY 10457

2051 Ryer Avenue is a 12-story, 86-unit residential building constructed in 2018, currently owned by Ronald Lasker. The property has faced recurring maintenance issues over the past two years, with the most recent complaints in 2025 including unsanitary garbage storage conditions (open as of June 2025) and multiple mold complaints (resolved with inspections showing no violations). The building has experienced frequent elevator-related problems, with multiple complaints recorded in 2025 regarding elevator devices, including three "Oath Violations Served" in May and June 2025.

An Environmental Control Board violation from October 2023 indicated several elevator maintenance issues that required attention, including problems with hoist ropes, brake maintenance, and in-car emergency phone functionality, resulting in a total penalty of $1,310. The building has exhibited persistent rodent activity, with inspection results showing "Rat Activity" in six out of eight inspections between 2022 and 2025, though the most recent inspection in July 2025 passed. Other maintenance issues have included problems with window frames, plumbing fixtures, and heating systems, though many of these complaints were resolved through inspections showing no violations.

The property has maintained a clean bedbug record, with no reported infestations in the past five years. During construction in 2018-2019, there were several safety and compliance issues noted by the Department of Buildings, including concerns about pedestrian protection, formwork design, and debris management, though these violations were subsequently resolved. The building's recent history shows a pattern of recurring maintenance issues, particularly related to the elevator system, mold, and pest control, while other systems and services have generally shown compliance with housing maintenance codes.
