2605 Bainbridge Avenue, Bronx, NY 10458

2605 Bainbridge Avenue is a 5-story, 11-unit residential building located in Fordham, constructed in 1912 and currently owned by Rick Herman. The building has experienced significant recurring issues with heat and hot water systems, with multiple emergency complaints recorded throughout 2024 and early 2025, including several instances of no heat or hot water affecting the entire building.

More recently, in March 2025, the building had both a heat/hot water complaint and an unsanitary condition complaint related to pests, the latter resulting in violations being issued by HPD. The building has also undergone several rodent control interventions, with at least eight inspections between 2024 and 2025 confirming rat activity, though bait was applied in January and October 2024. The property has faced various other maintenance challenges, particularly in apartment 3E, where multiple violations were documented in 2024, including issues with smoke and carbon monoxide detectors, flooring, cabinet repairs, and pest infestations.

There have been repeated complaints regarding the building's boiler system, with inspections in late 2024 and 2025 showing "unable to gain access" statuses. The building's bedbug history appears relatively stable, with only one infested unit reported in 2023 and none in subsequent years. Recent housing maintenance code violations related to safety equipment (smoke and carbon monoxide detectors) were resolved by September 2024, and HPD inspections have generally confirmed that conditions are addressed, though some complaints show the need for residents to re-file if problems persist.
