2715 Decatur Avenue, Bronx, NY 10458

2715 Decatur Avenue is a 3-story, 3-unit residential building located in the Fordham neighborhood, built in 1930 and currently owned by Steven Westreich. The property has experienced ongoing maintenance issues, particularly with heating and electrical systems, over the past two years. Most notably, there have been multiple heat and hot water complaints, with the most recent violation documented in December 2024 affecting Apartment 2 and resulting in Class C violations under ADM Code § 27-2031 for inadequate hot water provision.

The building has also faced recurring electrical problems, including three instances of "no lighting" complaints between 2023 and 2024, with violations issued in December 2023 and January 2024. Apartment 2 has been the focus of several violations, including multiple maintenance issues documented in May 2024, such as defective bathroom fixtures, kitchen tile problems, broken light fixtures, and issues with cabinet doors. The building's maintenance history reveals a pattern of infrastructure challenges, particularly during the winter months, with multiple heating system complaints and associated violations.

While rodent inspections from 2019 to 2024 show a mix of results, with some instances of rat activity followed by passes in recent inspections, the property has maintained a clean record regarding bedbug infestation since 2021, with no reported cases in the last four annual filings. The property has undergone various repairs and improvements in response to violations, including the certification of several violations as closed in 2024, though some remain open as of the latest inspection. The building's history includes one Department of Buildings complaint from 2018 regarding professional certification compliance, but access issues prevented a full inspection.
