2654 Marion Avenue, Bronx, NY 10458

2654 Marion Avenue is a 5-story, 21-unit tenement building in Fordham, constructed in 1911 and currently owned by SCG 2654 LLC. The building has experienced multiple maintenance issues in recent years, most notably a series of electrical problems in April 2025, with ten separate complaints about power outages and no lighting conditions, seven of which were classified as immediate emergencies. In June 2025, an unsanitary condition complaint regarding pests was filed, which resulted in violations being issued.

The building has a concerning pattern of rodent activity, with multiple inspections showing rat presence from May 2023 through 2025, though bait was applied in response to some findings. The property has outstanding violations from a November 2024 inspection of apartment 3FS, including problems with smoke detectors, carbon monoxide detectors, bathroom tiles, kitchen cabinet, and plaster surfaces. Additional violations were documented in other apartments regarding floor tiles and various maintenance issues.

Historical records show past boiler and egress concerns, though these were mostly resolved with no violations found upon inspection. The building has undergone periodic bedbug infestations, with the most recent report for 2023-2024 showing no active infestations, though previous years reported up to two affected units. A notable Environmental Control Board violation from April 2020 related to the boiler system was documented with a penalty of $625, which remains active.
