2435 Devoe Terrace, Bronx, NY 10468

2435 Devoe Terrace is a 5-story, 49-unit New Law Tenement building constructed in 1922, currently owned by Emanuel Figueroa. The building has experienced a recurring pattern of maintenance issues over the past two years, with particular problems related to cooking gas and heat/hot water systems being noteworthy. In 2025 alone, there were two emergency complaints regarding cooking gas and heat/hot water in March, and an unresolved refrigerator issue from October 2024 that extended into February 2025. Multiple cooking gas complaints were reported between 2024 and 2025, with at least two being designated as emergency situations.

The building has also faced pest control challenges, with violations issued in July 2024 regarding unsanitary conditions and rodent infestations, particularly affecting apartment 7D, which had documented issues with both mice and roaches. The property has a mixed record of addressing maintenance concerns, with some issues resulting in violations and others closing without inspection access being granted. Notable repair needs identified in 2024 included problems with various appliances, electrical outlets, plumbing fixtures, and wall surfaces. While the building has passed recent rodent inspections (August 2024), there have been periods of failure for other reasons in previous inspections (June 2024, July 2023).

The building's bedbug reporting history (2019-2024) shows minimal infestation cases, with only two documented instances in 2018-2019, both of which were reported as eradicated. Recent inspections have generally resulted in no required eradication measures, suggesting a current lack of significant bedbug activity. The building's violation history reveals both Class A and Class B violations, primarily affecting apartment 7D, including issues with door hinges, plastered surfaces, and various maintenance needs that were subsequently addressed and certified as corrected by September 2024. The pattern of service requests and violations suggests ongoing challenges with building systems and maintenance response, particularly regarding access for inspections and prompt resolution of reported issues.
