265 East Burnside Avenue, Bronx, NY 10457

The 265 East Burnside Avenue building, owned by the Jewish Board Of Family And Childrens Services, Inc., is a 7-story, 38-unit New Law Tenement constructed in 1924 in the Fordham neighborhood. The property has demonstrated recent improvements in maintenance and compliance, with rodent control inspections consistently passing from 2020 through 2025, and annual bedbug reports showing no infestation cases since 2019. However, there are several active violations and some concerning historical issues that warrant attention.

Currently, there are active DOB violations related to unsafe conditions and failure to file required Cycle 9A reports regarding exterior wall conditions. The building experienced service interruptions in 2018 regarding heat and hot water systems, though these issues were investigated and addressed. More recent concerns include a 2023 sanitary condition complaint involving pests, which was investigated with no violations found. The property has a documented history of mold and heat/hot water issues from 2018, though these complaints were closed.

The building has faced several environmental control board violations, including one from December 2022 regarding failure to submit an acceptable Cycle 9A report, for which a penalty of $1,250 was imposed (though the current balance is $0). Previously, there were issues with elevator service in December 2020 and facade safety notifications in 2023, with inspections finding no violations at the time. The most recent building inspections have consistently passed rodent control checks, and all recent bedbug reports (2021-2024) have shown no infestation issues. While the property has had various maintenance and compliance issues in the past, recent years show improved management of pest control and timely reporting, with active violations primarily focused on documentation requirements rather than immediate safety concerns.
