2783 Marion Avenue, Bronx, NY 10458

This three-story, three-unit residential building at 2783 Marion Avenue in Fordham, currently owned by Rajendra Rampersaud, has been facing recurring compliance issues over the past several years. The property, which dates back to 1910 and is classified as a Heretofore Converted Class A building, has an open Housing Maintenance Code violation dating from 2024 regarding the failure to file the required annual bedbug report, a pattern that has persisted since at least 2021, with similar violations recorded in 2023, 2022, and 2021.

These violations indicate ongoing challenges with record-keeping requirements despite the building's apparent compliance with actual pest control protocols, as evidenced by a rat activity inspection in July 2025, following several years of passed rodent inspections between 2016-2024, though another rat activity instance was recorded in 2017. The building's maintenance history shows some attention to safety improvements, particularly in 2020 when a violation was issued concerning the lack of handrails and guard rails on the front stairs, which resulted in a $655 penalty that has since been resolved.

Permit activity records from 2021 through 2022 show the issuance of three separate electrical work permits (EW) under job number 240281798, suggesting some level of ongoing maintenance or upgrades to the building's electrical systems. While these records indicate some safety and maintenance issues, it is noteworthy that the building has generally passed its regular rodent inspections, with only two instances of rat activity reported since 2016, and no recorded complaints or violations related to general pest control beyond the bedbug reporting requirements.
