2641 Jerome Avenue, Bronx, NY 10468
2641 Jerome Avenue is a five-story, 19-unit residential building constructed in 1912, currently owned by Michael Merges and classified as a New Law Tenement. The building has experienced several maintenance issues in recent years, with the most recent being a heat and hot water complaint in February 2025 that HPD could not inspect due to lack of access. A significant cluster of complaints in September 2024 included violations related to wall paint/plaster, sanitation conditions, and plumbing issues (toilets and sinks), with some violations specifically affecting the BASEME apartment.
These violations were documented through multiple HPD inspections, including emergency plumbing issues with toilets and sinks, and unsanitary conditions in garbage/recycling storage. The building's maintenance history also indicates ongoing infrastructure challenges, with documentation showing multiple violations requiring correction, including paint requirements in the basement, bathroom repairs, and safety device installations (such as carbon monoxide detectors). Earlier inspection records from 2024 show various plumbing and maintenance issues being reported and inspected, though some complaints, such as refrigerator problems from August 2024 and heat complaints in February 2025, could not be inspected due to access issues.
The property has maintained a bedbug-free record for several years, with no reported infestations between 2018 and 2024. However, there has been a concerning pattern of rat activity recorded during rodent inspections between 2020 and 2024, with some inspections passing and others noting the presence of rat activity. The building's recent maintenance history suggests ongoing infrastructure challenges, with multiple work orders and violations requiring attention, though many violations have been marked as resolved through subsequent inspections and certifications.
