2349 Davidson Avenue, Bronx, NY 10468

2349 Davidson Avenue, a 5-story New Law tenement building constructed in 1912 and currently owned by Yitzchok Blum, has experienced several maintenance and environmental challenges over recent years. Most notably, as of May 2025, there is an open complaint with the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) regarding a slow water leak, which remains unresolved. The building has faced persistent rodent issues, with multiple inspections in 2024-2025 indicating rat activity, including a compliance inspection in February 2025 showing continued infestations despite earlier bait applications.

In 2023, there was a significant cluster of complaints and violations, including multiple instances of unsanitary conditions, with specific issues related to pests, mold, and garbage storage. The building's 2024 violations included concerns about an inoperative fire escape (Class C violation), defective window panes in public areas, and various sanitation issues that were eventually resolved. The property has documented its bedbug status as showing zero infestation reports from 2021 through 2024, maintaining compliant reporting standards.

Historical maintenance records from 2019 show some boiler-related concerns, including a hazardous condition citation that resulted in a $1,250 penalty. The building's general systems have required multiple repairs and inspections, with some issues resulting in violations related to emergency repairs not being certified promptly. The property has demonstrated a pattern of environmental maintenance challenges, particularly in 2023-2024, though recent bedbug inspections show proper management of that specific issue. The relatively high number of service calls and violations, particularly regarding plumbing, sanitation, and pest control, suggests ongoing maintenance challenges within the building despite some improvements in recent months.
