2050 Jerome Avenue, Bronx, NY 10453

2050 Jerome Avenue is a 4-story, 7-unit tenement building constructed in 1900, currently under the ownership of Shrivinor Mgmt Co Inc. The building has a significant history of pest control compliance issues, particularly regarding bed bugs, with multiple open violations (as of 2024) for failure to file annual bedbug reports in accordance with NYC Housing Maintenance Code requirements, dating from 2021 through 2024. Recent rodent inspections show mixed results, with the most recent inspection in April 2025 passing, though there were instances of rat activity reported in October 2024 and April 2023.

The building has also experienced multiple health and sanitation-related complaints, including several regarding garbage/recycling storage in late 2018, though these complaints were closed due to lack of access for inspection. Recent food safety concerns were documented between 2021 and 2024, with complaints about spoiled food and food protection issues, all of which were closed after administrative review. The Department of Buildings records indicate some attention to site conditions in 2022, with inspections showing no violations warranting action.

However, there remains an active violation as of June 2023 regarding the failure to file the 2019 external low-pressure inspection report. The building's maintenance history shows periodic pest control efforts, as indicated by multiple compliance inspections passing for rodent issues. While some recent inspections have shown improvements, the persistent nature of the bedbug reporting violations and occasional rodent activity suggests ongoing maintenance challenges. The property appears to be actively addressing violations when they are identified, as evidenced by various complaint closures and compliance updates, though some issues remain open or have required repeated inspections for resolution.
