2888 Bailey Avenue, Bronx, NY 10463

The three-story Old Law Tenement building at 2888 Bailey Avenue in Kingsbridge, constructed in 1901 and currently owned by Nancy Rodriguez, has experienced several significant maintenance issues in recent years. Most notably, the property has recurring violations related to the failure to file annual bedbug reports as required by NYC Housing Maintenance Code, with unresolved violations noted in 2022, 2023, and 2024.

The building has also faced heating and hot water system challenges, including a January 2020 emergency complaint affecting the entire building, though inspections by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development found no violations. A more recent concern emerged in June 2025 regarding drinking water quality, though the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene's investigation found no health code violations or hazards.

Despite these issues, there have been some positive indicators regarding pest control, with the building passing rodent inspections in 2013, 2015, 2017, and 2018. It's worth noting that both the heating/hot water complaint in 2020 and the drinking water complaint in 2025 appear to have been resolved, though the bedbug reporting violations remain open and unresolved as of the most recent inspection. The building's age and class as an Old Law Tenement suggest it may face typical challenges associated with vintage New York City housing stock, though the specific issues noted in recent years warrant attention.
