2556 Briggs Ave, Bronx, NY 10458

The 31-unit, 5-story building at 2556 Briggs Avenue in Fordham, owned by Josh Pfeifer, has experienced recurring maintenance issues since its completion in 2022, with the most prominent being problems with heat and hot water. In 2025 alone, there were multiple heat/hot water complaints, including two in March and January where inspectors were unable to gain access to verify the conditions.

The building has also faced significant plumbing challenges, particularly with bathtub/shower systems, as evidenced by multiple complaints in late 2024, including emergency complaints in December that went unresolved despite repeated reporting. Other maintenance issues have included pest control concerns, with an October 2024 complaint about pests being filed but not properly inspected, and several plumbing-related complaints regarding sinks and basins. The building's maintenance history shows a pattern of emergency responses required for basic services, particularly heat/hot water and plumbing issues.

While the property has undergone regular inspections following complaints, access issues have frequently prevented proper verification of reported problems. The building's construction history shows two complaints from 2022-2023 regarding construction safety compliance and illegal after-hours work, though these were resolved with either violations served or no warranted violations. Notably, recent bedbug reporting for 2023-2024 shows no infestation units reported, suggesting successful management of this particular issue.
