2868 Valentine Avenue, Bronx, NY 10458
The two-unit, two-story residential property at 2868 Valentine Avenue in Fordham, built in 1901, has experienced several notable issues in recent years, with the most significant concerns centering around unauthorized modifications and required reporting. Between 2021 and 2024, the building has accumulated four open Housing Maintenance Code violations related to the failure to file annual bedbug reports, which is a mandatory requirement under NYC Housing Maintenance Code (HMC) regulations.
The property underwent a troubling period in 2021 when it was discovered that unauthorized conversions had occurred, with the basement and cellar areas altered to create additional residential units with bathrooms, bedrooms, and kitchens, leading to several Environmental Control Board (ECB) violations including an active violation with a $7,000 penalty for operating as a converted four-family dwelling instead of its legal two-family status. The building also faced serious safety concerns in 2021 regarding obstructed exit passageways, though these violations have since been resolved. The property's maintenance history shows an emergency heat/hot water complaint in May 2022, though no violations were found at the time of inspection.
More positively, the building has consistently passed rodent inspections from 2015 through 2024, indicating effective pest control measures. A Construction Enforcement Work Order complaint in December 2021 was inspected and found to have no violations warranting further action. While there is one open Housing Maintenance Code violation regarding bedbug report filing requirements from 2021, 2022, 2023, and 2024 that suggests ongoing administrative non-compliance, there have been no reported issues with heat or hot water since the 2022 complaint.
