2707 Decatur Avenue, Bronx, NY 10458

The two-story, three-unit residential building at 2707 Decatur Avenue in Fordham, owned by Gil Broitman, has experienced notable maintenance challenges since 2023. Most recently, there have been recurring safety concerns with window guards, with complaints filed in 2024 (closed without inspection access) and 2023 (resolved).

The property experienced significant heat and hot water system issues in early 2023, with multiple emergency complaints from January through May, resulting in several violations including inadequate heat and hot water supply specifically documented for apartments 1 and 2. Between 2023 and 2024, there were also sanitation-related violations, including garbage/recycling storage issues and a concrete tread repair requirement at the building's front steps, which have since been closed. The building's infrastructure appeared to have more serious problems in late 2023, with a boiler-related violation issued in September 2023 for exposed wiring and improper storage conditions, resulting in a $625 penalty that remains unpaid as of the latest records.

While the property has shown consistent progress in rodent control, passing inspections in 2022, 2023, and 2024, there were earlier signs of rat activity in 2018-2019. The building's bedbug reporting history from 2020-2023 shows no documented infestations or re-infestations during the required reporting periods. The most recent complaint, filed in January 2025 regarding multiple elevator devices, is currently active and under review by the Department of Buildings.
