2483 Devoe Terrace, Bronx, NY 10468

The 72-unit, 6-story building at 2483 Devoe Terrace in Kingsbridge, owned by Jonathan Samet and constructed in 1927, has experienced significant maintenance challenges in recent months. Most notably, between April and May 2025, there were multiple complaints regarding heat and hot water issues affecting the entire building, with some violations issued that required correction. In May 2025 alone, there were new complaints about flooring/stairs and plumbing/toilet issues, both of which remain open as of this writing.

The building has also faced ongoing rodent control challenges, with several inspections in 2024 showing rat activity, though some subsequent inspections passed. More recent work order history from June 2025 includes various maintenance issues being addressed, including electrical problems, plumbing concerns, and ceiling repairs. The property has a documented history of elevator-related issues, with multiple complaints about the single device on property/no alternate service dating back to 2019, and a 2023 ECB violation regarding access to the elevator pit and motor room that remains active.

Facade and structural concerns were highlighted in March 2025 with emergency work orders citing cracked/spalling brick and bulging conditions that require immediate attention. Although the building has typically maintained compliance with bedbug reporting requirements, showing zero infestation cases over multiple reporting periods, the recent maintenance challenges suggest ongoing management and maintenance needs. Additional historical issues include various plumbing, plaster, and sanitation concerns, with most past violations showing as resolved through proper certification of correction.
