2572 Bainbridge Avenue, Bronx, NY 10458
2572 Bainbridge Avenue, a 3-story, 3-unit building constructed in 1915 in the Fordham neighborhood, has experienced significant issues related to unauthorized unit conversion and maintenance concerns throughout its recent history. The property, currently owned by Mohammed Alam, faces an active Department of Buildings violation from October 2021 regarding illegal conversion to a 4-family dwelling status and unpermitted construction work in the attic/third floor, which included unauthorized partitions, bathroom, kitchen installation, and electrical work. Multiple complaints and violations from 2018 to 2021 consistently point to unauthorized alterations and occupancy beyond legally approved limits.
The building has documented several habitability concerns, particularly during 2021, with multiple HPD complaints resulting in violations related to mold, electrical issues, and sanitary conditions. The property has experienced recurring maintenance issues, most notably with heating systems, as evidenced by a December 2022 DOHMH complaint about inadequate heat that was closed in June 2024. Emergency housing maintenance code complaints from August 2021 indicate multiple infrastructure problems, including plumbing and electrical failures.
Recent inspections show some improvement in overall conditions, with the building passing recent rodent inspections in 2023-2025, though there were multiple instances of rat activity recorded between 2022 and 2023. The building's current bedbug reporting records from 2023-2025 show no infestations, representing a positive trend in pest control management. The property has also maintained compliance with rodent inspections as of early 2025, though previous inspections indicated periodic rodent activity between 2019 and 2023. While some recent violations related to bedbug reporting (2022-2024) and a 2024 A-class violation regarding bedbug reporting requirements have been noted, they represent a lower priority compared to the historical pattern of unauthorized conversions and maintenance issues.
