2630 Decatur Avenue, Bronx, NY 10458

2630 Decatur Avenue is a three-story, three-unit Old Law Tenement building located in Fordham, built in 1915 and currently owned by Tim Yang. The property has experienced recurring heat and hot water issues, particularly evident in early 2025, with multiple emergency complaints filed between January and February 2025, some of which were duplicates of existing complaints. Historical maintenance concerns include pest infestations (2021), door and window issues (2021), and a significant cluster of rat activity, with eight inspections between 2019 and 2025 showing consistent rodent presence, though with bait application responses.

The building's management has faced scrutiny over illegal conversion allegations, with several complaints filed in January 2019 resulting in an ECB violation for exceeding the legally approved number of families, though this was later resolved. Two open violations from 2023-2024 regarding annual bedbug reporting requirements under the Housing Maintenance Code are currently pending resolution. The building has undergone periodic inspections and remediation efforts, with some successful resolutions of complaints, particularly regarding heat and hot water issues where tenants confirmed restoration of services.

A more recent food safety issue was reported in 2023 but was addressed. The property has maintained records showing zero infested dwelling units in the 2020-2021 bedbug reporting period, with all treated units declared eradicated. While the building's age and history exhibit typical urban maintenance challenges, the recurring nature of certain issues, particularly heating system problems and rodent activity, suggests ongoing maintenance concerns.
