2486 Davidson Avenue, Bronx, NY 10468

2486 Davidson Avenue is a 5-story, 25-unit New Law Tenement building constructed in 1921 and currently owned by Jay Miller. The property has experienced recurring heating issues in recent months, with three heat/hot water complaints registered between December 2024 and January 2025, including one affecting the entire building and one specifically in an apartment (2B).

The building has a documented history of maintenance challenges, particularly in early 2024, when multiple complaints were filed and inspected, revealing various issues including mold (open violation), floor problems, and plumbing concerns in different units. Notably, unit 2B has multiple closed violations as of 2024, including problems with pests (rodents and roaches), scalding hot water, floor tiles, broken windows, and the need for smoke and carbon monoxide detectors, though these were certified as addressed by early 2024. A significant incident occurred in August 2021 when apartment 5C suffered fire damage, and there are ongoing concerns about building infrastructure, as evidenced by a December 2022 Department of Buildings violation regarding a missed Cycle 1 Technical Report filing.

The building's rodent inspections have shown fluctuating results, with several instances of rat activity recorded between 2022 and 2025, though a passed inspection in May 2025 is the most recent result. The property has maintained a clean bedbug record across multiple annual filings from 2019 through 2024, with no reported infestations in any dwelling units. While some maintenance issues have been promptly addressed, the recurring nature of heat/hot water complaints and rodent activity suggests ongoing challenges with building systems and pest control.
