2681 Marion Avenue, Bronx, NY 10458

The 100-unit, 7-story building at 2681 Marion Avenue in Fordham, owned by Jacob Barak, has been in operation since 2016 and presents several current concerns as of July 2025. Most notably, there are three newly reported open plumbing complaints (toilet, bathtub/shower, and electric/gas range) as of May 2025, following the resolution of multiple previous electrical (lighting and outlet/switch) and pest-related issues between March and June 2025.

The building has a documented history of pest issues, particularly with mice and roaches, affecting multiple apartments including 501, 317, and 617, though most pest complaints have been closed following inspections, including a rodent inspection that passed in May 2024. The building's elevator system has been a recurring focus of complaints, with multiple reports between 2020 and 2024, including an active Environmental Control Board violation as of July 2023 for out-of-service status with a penalty imposed.

Housing Maintenance Code violations have been addressed through various inspections, with most being closed after the required corrections were made, including previous issues with lighting, ventilation, and door security in apartment 213. The building's management has maintained bedbug-free status according to the last three years of reporting, and most rodent inspections since 2018 have passed, indicating some improvement in pest management. Despite being a newer building (constructed in 2016), the property has experienced ongoing maintenance challenges requiring regular intervention from housing authorities, particularly in plumbing, electrical systems, and pest control.
