2705 Marion Avenue, Bronx, NY 10458

The 2705 Marion Avenue building is a 5-story, 37-unit New Law Tenement brick structure built in 1921, currently owned by Jorge Ruiz. The property has experienced a range of maintenance issues in recent years, with the most pressing concerns being multiple open complaints from May-June 2025 regarding water leaks, wall paint/plaster issues, and door problems. The building has also faced recurring pest control challenges, evidenced by rodent activity inspections in 2024-2025, and there were significant violations in 2024 including an infestation of roaches in apartment 4B and various maintenance issues such as defective self-closing doors.

Safety concerns were highlighted by a June 2025 emergency complaint regarding a smoke detector and multiple non-emergency issues that required attention, including problems with the building's electric/gas range appliances. The building's recent history shows a pattern of maintenance and infrastructure challenges, including several Housing Maintenance Code violations from 2024 that were certified for correction, such as broken sub-floors and garbage disposal issues. There have also been multiple 311 service requests in 2025, with some remaining unresolved as of mid-2025, including open complaints regarding cooking gas and slow water leaks.

Historical data shows some improvement in pest control, with the building being bedbug-free from 2019-2024, though rodent activity remains a concern. Earlier building issues included a 2020 violation regarding boiler safety and exposes electrical wiring in the boiler room, which were addressed through the Environmental Control Board process. While the building has maintained a regular pattern of addressing violations and completing required repairs, the frequency and variety of recent complaints suggest ongoing maintenance challenges. The property has consistently met bedbug reporting requirements since 2019, with no reported infestations in recent years.
