2674 Briggs Avenue, Bronx, NY 10458

2674 Briggs Avenue is a 2-story, 3-unit residential building located in Fordham, Bronx, and owned by Mario Hernandez. The building has experienced recurring heat and hot water issues, with six separate complaints between November 2019 and December 2019, resulting in multiple violations related to inadequate heat and hot water supply, particularly affecting the first-floor apartment. More recently, in April 2024, there was another heat and hot water complaint that was temporarily resolved but required new complaints for proper inspection.

The building has active violations related to annual bedbug report filings for 2022-2024, and several unaddressed ECB violations from 2019 totaling $100,000 in penalties, related to failure to comply with commissioner orders. The property has been the subject of multiple illegal conversion complaints, with investigations in November 2019 resulting in an Oath violation and partial vacate order. Building safety concerns have included inadequate sprinkler system compliance in December 2019, though this was not sustained upon inspection.

The building's rodent inspections show a mix of results, with recent inspections in 2023 and 2024 passing, but there were issues noted in 2022 with rat activity that required bait application. A large number of violations remain open, including several Class C violations from 2019 relating to heating system access and security, as well as building and fire safety requirements. While some prior violations from 2020 regarding hazardous conditions were dismissed, the building's current state shows ongoing maintenance and compliance challenges that require attention.
