2828 Decatur Avenue, Bronx, NY 10458

The 70-unit, 6-story building at 2828 Decatur Avenue in Fordham, owned by Nayda Alejandro and constructed in 1993, has experienced several recurring maintenance issues over recent years. The most recent incidents include plumbing problems in December 2024, where HPD verified corrections were made, and a series of maintenance requests from August 2024 regarding pests, electrical outlets, refrigerator issues, flooring problems, wall conditions, and paint/plaster concerns, none of which could be inspected due to access issues. The building has also faced heating/hot water issues affecting the entire building in November 2023, which were subsequently corrected.

Historical issues include a mold incident in October 2023, various electrical problems, and ventilation system concerns in 2021. The property has a history of bedbug infestations, though recent reports from 2022-2024 show no active infestations, with the last known infestation affecting 3 units in 2018. The Department of Buildings (DOB) records reveal several significant concerns, particularly regarding boiler systems. An active ECB violation from 2021 indicates unregistered hydrotherm boilers requiring updates to current code.

There were multiple boiler-related complaints in 2021, with one resulting in an Oath violation. The building has passed recent rodent inspections, though there were indications of rat activity in 2018-2019. Other notable observations include two instances of failure to display energy efficiency scores in 2020 and 2024, though these violations were dismissed. The building's maintenance history shows a pattern of access issues preventing inspections, particularly for non-emergency complaints, suggesting potential challenges in maintaining consistent access for inspections.
