2690 Briggs Avenue, Bronx, NY 10458

2690 Briggs Avenue is a 4-story residential building in Fordham, constructed in 1910 and containing 41 units. The property has experienced recurring heat and hot water system issues throughout 2024, with multiple building-wide outages reported between October and December 2024, requiring emergency HPD interventions. Recent complaints from June 2025 indicate continuing maintenance challenges, including water leaks and ceiling issues, with associated HPD violations. The building has an active EPA violation from 2020 related to failure to file a final inspection for completed work, with a $625 penalty, though this may be from a prior address (10458).

Health and safety concerns were documented in late 2023 regarding Apartment 4N, including issues with hot water supply, mold, and pest infestation, though most violations from this inspection were subsequently closed. The property has maintained an active rodent control program, with multiple inspections in 2024 showing varying conditions, though recent inspections in 2025 have passed. Notably, the building has consistently reported zero bedbug incidents across multiple reporting periods from 2021 through 2024. The building has an open Class C violation from November 2023 regarding access to the heating system boiler room.

Inspection records show fluctuating conditions, with several instances of water leak issues documented in both Apartments 1S and 4N, as well as interior maintenance concerns such as broken plaster and paint surfaces requiring repair. While there have been multiple housing maintenance code violations and complaints throughout 2024 and 2025, many have been addressed and closed. The property appears to have regular pest control measures in place, with most rodent activity addressed through baiting and compliance inspections. The building's maintenance history suggests ongoing challenges with basic services and infrastructure systems, particularly heating and water systems, though many specific violations have been corrected through HPD's enforcement process.
