2349 Jerome Avenue, Bronx, NY 10468

2349 Jerome Avenue is a 3-story, 4-unit residential building constructed in 1910 and currently owned by Juan Fernandez. The building has experienced recurring heat and hot water issues, particularly during late 2021 through early 2022, with multiple complaints from tenants about system failures affecting the entire building. During this period, there were also several other maintenance concerns including mold, water leaks, and problems with the bell/buzzer/intercom system.

More recently, in October 2023, violations were documented in Apartment 2 regarding water temperature control (exceeding 130 degrees in bathroom and kitchen), smoke and carbon monoxide detector issues, and ceiling repair needs. The building's boiler system has been a particular focus of attention, with a 2020 complaint resulting in multiple violations related to improper installation and disconnection of components, carrying a penalty of $3,125. The property has maintained effective bedbug control practices, with no reported infestations in the past several years according to official filings from 2019 through 2024.

Rodent control efforts have shown mixed results, with the most recent January 2025 inspection passing, but earlier inspections in 2024 showing some rodent activity requiring bait application. The building's management has generally responded to violations, as indicated by their "Closed" status, though a few remain unresolved as of October 2023. The property has also demonstrated compliance with annual bedbug reporting requirements, consistently showing zero units affected during these periods.
