2420 Davidson Avenue, Bronx, NY 10468

The 27-unit, 5-story building at 2420 Davidson Avenue in University Heights, owned by Sefik Gunes, has experienced a series of significant maintenance issues in recent years. Most notably in May 2025, multiple complaints resulted in HPD violations related to plumbing (toilets and radiators), cabinet problems, unsanitary conditions (pests), wall damage, floor issues, and paint/plaster concerns. In April 2025, potential lead-based paint conditions were identified in the ceiling and window/frame areas.

The building faced several notable violations in mid-2024, including water leak issues in Apartment A, multiple plumbing problems in Apartment 3A, and an infestation of mice in Apartment 2B. Additional violations from 2024 include issues with a sagging wood floor in Apartment A, defective bathtub finishes in Apartment 3A, and a required smoke detector notice not being posted in public areas. The property has shown inconsistent pest management results, with rodent inspections revealing "Rat Activity" in 2024 (August, October, and February) and more recent passes in 2025.

While there have been no reported bedbug infestations in recent years (2020-2024 filings show 0 infested units), the building's maintenance history indicates ongoing challenges with basic infrastructure and sanitation systems. A current violation remains active regarding the failure to display energy efficiency scores as per code requirements. The property has undergone several HPD inspections that identified various violations, though most of these were eventually certified as corrected, showing some responsiveness to regulatory requirements.
