2546 Belmont Avenue, Bronx, NY 10458

The three-story, Class A converted building at 2546 Belmont Avenue in Fordham, owned by Marco Valera, has a generally positive maintenance record since 2019, with consistent passing grades on rodent inspections conducted every six months between October 2019 and 2025, and no reported bedbug infestations in the past four years (2021-2025). The property, constructed in 1931, experienced several regulatory interactions during 2022, including Housing Maintenance Code violations related to annual bedbug reporting requirements in February, and a significant issue with an unregistered boiler in June that resulted in a $1,562 Environmental Control Board violation involving Fordham University, though this penalty was later resolved.

In 2023, there was a violation related to the failure to file the 2022 external low-pressure inspection report, which was subsequently dismissed. More recent filings indicate that the building has maintained compliance with bedbug reporting requirements, as evidenced by 2024-2025 filings showing zero infested or eradicated units.

The most recent rodent inspection in April 2025 also passed, continuing the streak of successful inspections. The building's overall maintenance pattern suggests active management, with prompt resolution of most violations and consistent adherence to required inspections, particularly in areas related to pest control and bedbug management, though there were notable compliance issues in 2022 regarding the boiler registration and bedbug reporting that have since been addressed.
