2578 Briggs Avenue, Bronx, NY 10458

The three-story, three-unit building at 2578 Briggs Avenue in Fordham, owned by Lynette Daniel, has experienced significant maintenance challenges in recent years. The most substantial issues emerged in early 2023, with multiple violations documented between January and February 2023, including unsanitary conditions (mold and pests), plumbing problems (bathtub/showers and radiators), water leaks, floor issues, and various paint/plaster deficiencies.

In particular, Apartment 2 on the second floor faced multiple violations requiring attention to self-closing doors, water leaks in the bathroom ceiling, window guards, and various plaster and paint issues, though most of these violations were certified as addressed by early 2023. More concerning is the building's current state regarding lead paint compliance, with open violations as of November 2023 indicating failure to provide required lead-based paint records and to properly investigate lead paint hazards.

The property has also maintained a rodent presence, as evidenced by rat activity recorded in inspections as recent as May 2025, though there have been some "passed" inspections and bait applications in between that suggest efforts to manage the problem. While the building has shown some improvement in bedbug management with no reported infestations in the past two annual reporting periods (2022-2023 and 2023-2024), the ongoing rodent issues and open lead paint violations represent significant current challenges.
