2082 Anthony Avenue, Bronx, NY 10457

The six-story, 60-unit building at 2082 Anthony Avenue in Fordham, owned by Aaron Bauer and constructed in 1940, has experienced numerous maintenance issues in recent years, particularly during 2024-2025. The property has faced recurring problems with heating systems, evidenced by multiple HPD complaints about heat and hot water issues affecting the entire building between January and February 2025, some of which resulted in violations. Two significant recent concerns include an unsanitary mold condition and a slow water leak reported in March 2025, both of which resulted in violations and required correction by the owner.

The building has shown persistent elevator maintenance challenges, with multiple complaints about the single device elevator and no alternate service between 2022-2024, leading to both active and resolved violations. A concerning pattern of rodent activity has been documented through multiple inspections between 2023 and 2025, with eight inspections showing rat activity and some requiring bait application. The building has undergone various repair and maintenance work, with particular attention in December 2024 when multiple violations were issued for apartment 7B, including missing smoke detectors, light fixtures, electrical outlet covers, and carbon monoxide detectors, as well as issues with self-closing doors and peeling paint.

Earlier construction work in 2023-2024 showed problems with scaffolding and pedestrian protection, resulting in violations. The property has generally maintained compliance with bedbug reporting requirements, showing no reported infestations since 2020. The building's records indicate a combination of resolved and active violations across various categories, with particular focus needed on addressing the recurring issues related to the elevator system, heating, and rodent activity.
