2575 Jerome Avenue, Bronx, NY 10468

2575 Jerome Avenue, a 6-story, 89-unit residential building constructed in 1940 and currently owned by Esat Gashi, has experienced significant maintenance challenges, particularly concerning heating systems. Between February and March 2025, there were ten documented heat/hot water complaints affecting the entire building, with some complaints resulting in verified corrections, while others required tenants to file new complaints if problems persisted.

December 2024 inspections revealed multiple violations in apartment 5A, including unsafe electrical wiring conditions, defective self-closing doors, and inadequate hot water supply. The building's heating system continued to present issues, with violations citing lack of hot water at fixtures in both apartments 5A and 3D. The property has faced ongoing problems with unauthorized cellar modifications, with active ECB violations from June 2023 indicating illegal conversions creating additional residential units with bathrooms, kitchens, and laundry facilities, resulting in penalties totaling $51,250.00.

Elevator service has been a recurring concern, with multiple complaints between 2022-2024 regarding single device operation and lack of alternate service, though inspections typically found no violations warranting action. Recent rodent activity has been consistently documented throughout 2024 and 2025, with multiple inspections showing evidence of rat presence. The building's management has maintained regular bedbug reporting, with no documented infestations in recent years, though some housing maintenance violations, including electrical issues and plumbing problems, remain open as of the latest inspections.
