2581 Marion Avenue, Bronx, NY 10458

2581 Marion Avenue is a three-story, three-unit residential building located in the Fordham neighborhood, owned by Edward Harmon and constructed in 1901. The building has experienced several notable issues in recent years, most significantly a structural hazard in 2021 when a 15'x25' section of masonry and stucco on the front facade delaminated from the 2nd and 3rd floors and fell to the ground, leading to an Environmental Control Board violation and a $1,250 penalty.

Following this incident, there was a complaint about building shaking and structural stability in November 2021 that resulted in a vacate order, though this was fully rescinded by July 2022. The building's maintenance history shows recurring issues with bedbug reporting compliance, with violations in 2021-2023 related to not filing the required annual bedbug reports, though subsequent filings indicate no bedbug infestations occurred during those reporting periods.

More recent concerns have emerged regarding rodent activity, with the latest inspections in 2025 showing rat activity in January and March, following previously passed inspections throughout 2022-2024. The building's rodent inspection history shows a mix of results, with multiple passed inspections in 2022-2024 but more recent concerns noted in early 2025. The property has generally maintained compliance with required inspections and certifications, though there have been periods where violations or deficiencies were noted, particularly regarding the bedbug reporting requirements and the 2021 structural issue that garnered multiple violations and required corrections.
