2590 Briggs Avenue, Bronx, NY 10458

The two-story, three-unit residential building at 2590 Briggs Avenue in Fordham, owned by David Adewoyin, has experienced several notable incidents since 2018. Most significantly, in early 2018, the property was cited for creating illegal basement apartment violations, including unauthorized living space with a full bathroom and kitchen, along with illegal partition walls, resulting in two Class B violations.

These issues were subsequently addressed and resolved in connection with Environmental Control Board violations 35242142P and 35242566Z. The building has consistently maintained compliance with bedbug reporting requirements, with the most recent report for the period ending October 2024 showing zero infested or eradicated units. The property has undergone regular rodent inspections, with all results passing except for a rat activity finding in May 2025, representing a recent concern for resident comfort and hygiene.

The building's permitting history shows active maintenance and improvement work, with three permits issued between 2021 and 2024, the most recent being issued in April 2024 under job number 240278454. In terms of regulatory compliance, the property has had recurring bedbug reporting violations in 2021-2024, though these appear to have been administrative in nature rather than indicative of an infestation problem. The building's age (constructed in 1915) and history of illegal conversion issues suggest ongoing scrutiny of its unit configurations, though current records indicate that such unauthorized modifications have been addressed through proper permitting and violations resolution.
