2615 Jerome Avenue, Bronx, NY 10468

The five-story, 26-unit residential building at 2615 Jerome Avenue in Kingsbridge, owned by Pashko Stanaj, has experienced significant maintenance and safety issues in recent years. Most concerning are the recurring heating and hot water problems, with multiple complaints in 2024-2025 indicating either no service or intermittent failures. The building has also faced persistent pest issues, with several complaints about both rodent and cockroach infestations, particularly affecting apartment 35 where multiple violations were documented in 2024.

Recent mechanical problems emerged with the boiler system, including violations in September 2024 related to hazardous conditions that required immediate attention, though these appear to have been resolved with some penalties. The building's current status shows several ongoing maintenance concerns, including an open power outage complaint from March 2025 and a recent ceiling paint/plaster issue logged in May 2025. Historical data shows a pattern of maintenance challenges, including plumbing problems (bathtub/shower issues in 2025), and violations related to safety equipment such as smoke and carbon monoxide detectors.

The property had notable infrastructure issues in 2023, with violations for failure to file external low-pressure inspections from 2018-2019. Inspection records show a concerning pattern of rodent activity, with multiple rat activity findings between 2019-2025, suggesting ongoing pest control challenges. The building's maintenance history reveals a mix of resolved and ongoing issues, with some complaints receiving no violations (such as the refrigerator and electrical range issues) while others resulted in documented violations. The property's age (built in 1915) and classification as a New Law Tenement indicate it follows specific housing regulations, but the record suggests ongoing challenges with meeting maintenance requirements and addressing resident complaints in a timely manner.
