2183 Ryer Avenue, Bronx, NY 10457

2183 Ryer Avenue is a 3-unit, 3-story New Law Tenement building located in Fordham and owned by Jessica Paredes. The building, constructed in 1901, has experienced recurring heat and hot water issues over the past two years, with multiple complaints filed by tenants between 2024 and 2025, including three emergency complaints in early January 2025 alone. The most significant recent concerns involve lead paint hazards documented in December 2024 in Apartment 3, affecting multiple walls and areas including the kitchen, foyer, and various rooms.

The building has also faced safety concerns, particularly regarding window guards, with violations issued in November 2024. The property has maintained consistent bedbug-free status across all reporting periods since 2022, and rodent inspections reveal a mixed record, with evidence of rat activity noted during several inspections between 2023 and 2025, though the most recent inspection in July 2025 resulted in a passing grade. The building has undergone various maintenance inspections, with violations issued for floor conditions, window frames, and appliance issues in March 2024.

In November 2024, violations were recorded for a defective mortise lock at Apartment 1's entrance. A complaint regarding an unauthorized conversion was filed in December 2024, though the inspector was unable to gain access during the final attempt in February 2025. While some issues have been resolved through the complaint process, including certain flooring and lock repairs in January 2025, several open violations remain, particularly concerning lead paint hazards. The building has demonstrated responsiveness to some complaints, with heat and hot water issues reportedly resolved upon inspection in early 2025, though recurring complaints suggest this remains an ongoing concern.
