2786 Bainbridge Avenue, Bronx, NY 10458

The 49-unit, 6-story building at 2786 Bainbridge Avenue in Fordham, owned by David Spring and constructed in 1937, has experienced recurring heating and plumbing issues in recent years, with multiple complaints about heat and hot water outages between late 2024 and early 2025. Most of these complaints were resolved promptly, though a plumbing issue involving a bathtub/shower remains open as of April 2025.

The building has also faced maintenance challenges regarding pest control, with documented infestations of roaches and mice in apartments 3F and 5H between 2021 and 2022, though recent bedbug reports from 2023-2025 show no active infestations. Apartment 2F received several maintenance citations in December 2024, including issues with smoke detectors, carbon monoxide detectors, and bathroom ceiling plaster, while the building as a whole has maintained compliance with regular rodent inspections, passing all recent inspections through 2024-2025. The building's history shows a pattern of emergency heating/hot water complaints, particularly notable in late 2024 to early 2025, and various maintenance issues requiring attention to safety systems like smoke and carbon monoxide detectors.

However, the property has maintained a consistent record of passing rodent inspections and has shown improvements in pest management based on recent bedbug reporting. A 2022 elevator complaint was investigated and found to have no violations, and the most recent Department of Buildings permit issuance was recorded in 2019 for an unspecified work type. While the building has had multiple violations and complaints over the years, particularly related to heating systems and safety equipment, many of these issues have been addressed through inspections and repairs, as indicated by closed violation statuses.
