2666 Valentine Avenue, Bronx, NY 10458

Located at 2666 Valentine Avenue in Fordham, this five-story, 10-unit residential building constructed in 1913 is currently managed by owner Heng Ly. The property has experienced numerous maintenance issues recently, with the most significant cluster of problems emerging in April 2025. During this period, multiple violations were documented, including issues with steam pipes/riser plumbing systems, flooring, heating and hot water systems, and various paint/plaster conditions affecting walls and ceilings.

At least seven separate violations were issued during this month alone, requiring property owner remediation. While some of these complaints have been closed following HPD inspections, as of May 2025, an intercom system issue remains unresolved and is currently classified as an open complaint. The building's condition has shown particular concern in Apartment 1A, where multiple open violations were recorded during a September 2024 inspection relating to pest infestations (both mice and roaches), water leaks, bathroom tile damage, leaky faucets, and issues with kitchen cabinets.

Though the property has maintained a bedbug-free status for the past seven reporting periods from 2019 to 2024, rodent activity was noted during a 2024 inspection, breaking an otherwise consistent pattern of passing rodent inspections dating back to 2015. The building has also experienced heating system problems, with emergency heat/hot water complaints filed and partially addressed between April and May 2025. Despite these ongoing issues, the property has generally complied with bedbug and rodent inspection requirements, maintaining an overall record of zero reported infestations since 2019, though this pattern has been somewhat disrupted by the recent rat activity finding in 2024.
