2350 Davidson Avenue, Bronx, NY 10468

The 5-story, 45-unit building at 2350 Davidson Avenue in University Heights, owned by Jorge Ruiz, has been facing persistent maintenance challenges since records began. Built in 1910, this New Law Single Room Occupancy building has documented multiple rodent infestations, with inspections throughout 2024 and 2023 consistently showing rat activity or failed compliance. The building has also had recurring heat and hot water issues, as evidenced by a 2021 emergency complaint that went unresolved due to lack of access for inspection.

In 2022, a significant number of violations were recorded, including issues with self-closing fire doors, inadequate bathroom facilities, and water leaks in common areas, though most of these were subsequently closed. The building's safety systems have been a particular concern, with an active violation as of September 2024 for failure to file the 2023 External Low Pressure Inspection, and a previously dismissed violation related to filing requirements under LL37. More recent records show improved management of bedbug reporting, with the last three filing periods from 2019 through 2023 showing zero infested units.

However, the building continues to struggle with compliance issues, as demonstrated by the failed inspections noted in 2023 and 2024. While the building has had some violations resolved, such as repairs to defective doors and addressing water leak issues, the ongoing rodent activity and recent safety violations indicate persistent maintenance challenges. The property has maintained some compliance with bedbug reporting requirements, filing accurate reports for multiple periods showing no infestations.
